There are so many fun variations for thisscience experiments.Thislego scienceis such a fun project.
Electricity experiments for kids
Do your kids like Lego?
Do they like fun science experiments?
If you answered yes to either of those questions you HAVE TO try thislego science experiments.
This would make a GREATscience project for kidsor summer activity for kidstoo!
Squishy Circuits were designed by St Thomas Univeristy and make teaching elementary age students about electricity FUN!
Basically the electric play dough recipe acts as both an insulator and a conductor of the electricity in order.
Sound complicated, keep reading.
It is a reallyeasy science projectfor kids!
Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.
Stir, stir, and stir some more.
Continue kneeding to get out the lumps and make the color more even.
Once the dough is cool enough to handle you are good to play or try thissquishy circuits project.
Store theelectric playdoughin a zip-lock bag or airtight container.
For our project we repeated with a different color.
Lego Electricity
Form your electric dough into a big square.
Then add the iconic four flat circles to the top to make your dough look like a lego brick.
Add one copper and one zinc strip to each Minion.
Watch your clock turn on!
Electrical experiments for kids
Electric dough is aelectrochemical batteryalso known as an electrochemical cell.
This means that chemical energy is converted into electric energy during spontaneous electron transfer.
Each lego squish circuit will act as a buffer between the zinc ions and the copper ions.
Electricity science experiments
Experiment with other household materials like a potato, lemon, or even Gatorade!
Or attach christmas light bulbs or sound accessories if you want to take thefun electricity experimentsfurther.
