Projector

 

This is an exciting way to learn about electricity and structures

 

With the use of nets children make a structure that will support a circuit and switch.  The torch effect is then converted into a projector.  This is an ideal starting point for a variety of areas of the curriculum.  For example with this working model children are then able to explore the effects of light and shadow.

 

Teachers can choose how they would like this activity delivered.
