How Many Different Switches Can You Build?

As part of our ongoing Electricity Inquiry students were challenged to create as many different switches as they could using materials from our Maker Carts.  Students had to assess what types of materials would be most appropriate for this task and then invent and test their design.

They also had to consider questions such as:

Why are switches important?

What is their purpose?

How does  switch effect the flow of electricity?

Working in their teams students created many unique designs!  Take a look!
