Next week, we will consider Electricity. I'm preparing a list of experiments on Static Electricity, and the relationship between Magnetism and Electricity, but if students have kits at home such as Snap Circuits those would be a good thing to explore for this topic as well. I have a few (Snap Circuits Green, Snap Circuits Motion). Leah absolutely loved them when she was younger.
Clocca Concepts has a nice Electric Circuit Kit ($195.00) that I would have gotten for the classroom if we were meeting together. Maybe next year!
