Creative Circuits contents – Colours may vary

Creative Circuits is part of Science2Life’s ‘Science iT!’ Programmes

it is used to teach the basics of electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way.

Build a 3D model creation and use your scientific knowledge to light it up!

Contents

  • 140 g Conductive Craft Doh
  • 90 g Insulating Modelling Clay
  • 2 x Battery holder with switch, connecting wires and connecting blades
  • 4 x 3V Lithium Batteries
  • 4 x spare blades
  • 8 x LED’s (mixed)

Activity and Educational notes provided – 8 pages!

BATTERIES: 4 x 3V button lithium cells included

HOW ­­­CREATIVE CIRCUITS WORKS?

Creative Circuits uses conductive craft-doh in place of traditional electrical wires and modelling clay to act as an insulating material. The insulating material is there to prevent your conducting wires from touching and hence avoiding short circuits!

A more in depth explanation of a short circuit

This innovation way of playing with electricity allows you to discover the benefits of series and parallel circuits in fun and safe way and then use that knowledge to create your own illuminated 3-D designs.

Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes

Children love to be engaged in learning, especially through interactive projects that they can really get involved and be hands on with.

Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes are part of our STEAM Academy. The activities use everyday life objects, toys and knick-knacks and turns them into fun, innovative, hands-on experiences designed to encourage children to:

  • discover the amazing world of science and engineering
  • to perform engaging activities that show how science and engineering is at work in their everyday lives
  • to foster a lifelong love of science and engineering
  • to give a basic grounding in scientific concepts and scientific thinking
  • to increase children’s motivation to learn and
  • enhance their perception, creativity and logic.

Hands-on learning is learning by doing.

Children involved in our ‘Science iT!’ activities and programmes are introduced to various STEAM learning methods and activities. Our creative programmes involve learning activities that require active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. We all know how curious children are about the world around them and how they love using the word ‘why?’

The aim of our activities is to provide optimal learning opportunities that strategically help children grasp mathematics, engineering and science concepts.

With the inclusion of the arts component into STEM it makes it more fun to learn, and more approachable to children.

Art education allows children to learn things in a more open-ended way and make them applicable to real life.

Links to the curriculum

All of Science2Life activities can be used to entertain children – however they have been created with the curriculum in mind, so are perfect activities to generate mesmerizing examples of the topics they can be used to explore.

Plus our Science iT! activities can up scaled-up to be used in workshops within the classroom, for festival and birthday celebrations, which provide opportunities for children to collaborate on initiatives, explorations and creations.

The idea behind our Science iT! activities is to ignite children’s natural innate curiosity about the world around them (and the items in it) and to channel their enthusiasm for scientific discovery as early as possible.

Currently Science2Life have the following Science iT! activities:

  1. The Magical EVANESCO Spell
  2. The Magical AMORTENTIA Spell
  3. The Super Bouncing Bubble Kit
  4. Make your own Fossil Kit
  5. Colour Changing Bracelet Kit
  6. Pneumatic Monsters Activity
  7. Creative Circuits
  8. The Magical Wandarama
  9. Gone Fishing
  10. The Jitter Bug

Each of the above activities can be turned into a workshop programme! Interested? Give us a call!
