Allow students the remaining time to begin working on the assignment. Students should work in pairs to complete the written questionaire using the web site, The Atoms Family - Electrical Safety . Students should decide upon the message they will promote in their safety poster. Classroom time can be allowed for students to create their posters or this can be assigned as homework. Students who complete the written questionaire should review the web site, Electricity and Magnetism - What a circuit is , in order to prepare for building their wired cardboard house in class.
Students successfully navigate through the web sites.
Students can explain how electricity works. Students display in a Poster an electrical safety rule. Students demonstrate their understanding of electrical circuits by successfully constructing and wiring a cardboard house of their own design. Perform experiments explained in the web sites under adult supervision. Visit an electrical power plant and share the experience with classmates.
