Clever Scientist: Electric Circuits
This STEM lesson is designed to explore electrical circuits and engage in a hands-on activity to create, label, and identify the differences between parallel and series circuits.
Students will develop and use a model that explains how energy is moved or transferred from place to place through electric currents. While they construct circuits to create electricity, they will be analyzing, collaborating and communicating effectively with their partners to complete an engineering design challenge. At the end of this unit, students will be able to independently identify complete and incomplete circuits, suggest ways to fix incomplete circuits, identify parts of a circuit, and create a circuit.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
Students will create flying helicopter models to change the movement and motion by changing different variables. Changing the movement of an object requires a net force to act upon it. This lesson
This lesson is simple lesson plan for 4th grade students. It will challenge students to investigate and demonstrate that electricity is a flow of electrons around the circuit. This lesson will be 50
