Paper Circuits in IDEA LAb

10/17/2014

0 Comments

 
Today, I introduced the concept of an electric circuit and led students through an activity where they built a paper circuit using copper foil tape, coin cell batteries, and LEDs.  I covered most of the concepts found in this YouTube video.  Students used their iPads to scan a QR code they had added to their journals in order to visit this blog.  In the IDEA Lab tab at the top of this blog, there is a link to the Paper Circuits Instructable I created for students to follow if they had difficulty with any of the steps I demonstrated.

After completing these practice paper circuits, students will have the opportunity to add a paper circuit to their journal covers in order to make them light up when a switch is pressed.
