Weeks 6-8 - Intro to Circuitry

My third graders are diving into circuitry. This, of course, means it's paper circuit time. I wanted to respect the fact that some have prior knowledge on this subject and some are totally new to the subject. I designed a little intro packet that allows those who are experience to speed through a review and those who are new to circuitry to get a solid foundation of the basics.

This went really well and my third graders really enjoyed having the chance to go at their own pace. 

After completing the basic intro, I gave students a challenge assignment where they needed to run 2 LEDs off a single battery and make a switch for each LED.

I am attaching PDFs for the intro activity. I had them use the same batteries and LEDs throughout both assignments.
