Electrical Circuits!

Did you know playdough can be electric? On our last day of term we had a great time exploring playdough electrical circuits and making LED lights glow. We used salt dough as a conductor and a sugar dough as an insulator. It took a bit of fiddling around to discover how to make the circuit work but shouts of delight could be heard all over the room as one by one we figured it out and helped each other. What a fun way to end the term! Happy holidays everyone! 

Making interesting shapes for our circuits.

Sometimes it didn't work! Trying insulating dough to make a circuit wasn't very successful.
