Join us for a brand new hands-on workshop all about the nature of electricity with Brett Miwa at New England Sci-Tech. Workshop is geared towards 4th to 6th grade students (or older novices). Two sessions are available with limited slots in each, so sign up quick for this "enlightening" experience.
This series of two 90-minute hands-on learning sessions introduces and reinforces fundamental electrical concepts. A primary focus is on developing an intuition for understanding the behavior of electricity. Concepts of voltage, current, conductors and insulators, and series/parallel are introduced and reinforced with fun experiments and demonstrations. By the end of the series, a typical student should be able to connect batteries, motors, light bulbs, and switches, and assemble them to make simple useful circuits.
The target participants are 4-6th grade students (or older novices). The experiential nature of the curriculum requires limiting class size to 10 students; students should expect to work in pairs for some activities.
The workshops are intended to be experienced in sequence, as the later concepts build upon previous experiences.
