Lesson Plan: Electricity - Instructions, Materials, and Objectives
Students will make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. Apply scientific ideas to design, test and design a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Prep: Docents need to make 2 different "doughs" for this lab. Docents should test batteries prior to the lab.
Please note this lab says it can take 2-2.5 hours to do all 3 activities. Docents can spread this lab out between 2 days and/or only do some of the activities.

Video Squishy Circuit: Electricity
Show the video below. Start the video at 3:11 and stop the video at 5:35.
Challenge the kids to use the materials to make the LED light up.
After a few minutes of trying, show the rest of the video and then let them continue to experiment.
