4th Grade SLO Review
Energy Room Requirements
Requirements:
1. Create a complete circuit using the switch we created in class. It is stapled to this sheet.
2. Create an environment to incorporate the completed circuit. This must include three decorations at a minimum.
3. When project is brought in to class the switch must turn one light on and off.
Wires or aluminum foil
Electrical tape
During class, we have created many complete circuits and one identical to what needs to be used in the energy room. This project will need to be completed at home. We will not be using class time to work on this project. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or text me at 213-0108.
