description: Circuits are fun to build. But poor contact points or loose connections can often make it a frustrating experience, especially for younger students. Not to worry! Using no more than paper clips, rubber bands, clothespins and pennies, your students will build bulb holders, battery holders and switches that are virtually goof-proof. Gone is the tangle of copper wire that must be twisted and untwisted. It is replaced by flexible, tangle-proof ribbon - aluminum foil backed by masking tape. Because it is flat, this ribbon can be joined into electrically secure connections with paper clips. Simple, inexpensive, easy to do - you and your class will love Electricity. The book is organized into three main INTRODUCTION* Getting It Together - Materials * Sequencing Activities * Building an Effective Teaching Strategy * Diary of a Teacher * Long Range Objectives * Gaining a Whole Perspective TEACHING NOTES (20 lessons)* It Works! * To Light or Not to Light * Light Bulb Predictions * Series
