Simple circuits, series circuits, parallel circuits, wind energy and solar energy are examined in this unit of study. Buzzers, light bulbs, and fans become part of the circuits, helping students understand how energy transforms to sound, light, and motion energies. Students will use alligator clamps to quickly construct these circuits, thus creating success and a positive attitude. Each kit includes a powerpoint, materials for all hands on activities, and teacher lesson plans. A lesson plan timeline averaging 40 minutes, but can easily be broken into smaller sessions. All lessons are organized to enable the teacher to maximize contact time with the students and minimize preparation time.
