Grade 5 Science · World 8: Circuit Works · Level 57
Design a Circuit
Design and repair a complete, simple circuit.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 57
- To design a circuit, plan three things: a source, a path, and a load. Add a switch for control.
- If it doesn't work, be a detective. Is there a battery? Is the path complete? Is the switch closed?
- Try it with a grown-up: connect one small battery, a small bulb, and wires. Use small batteries only, never a wall outlet.
- Always keep the bulb in the path. A wire alone across a battery can get hot.
