Circuits

Tools:

  • Glue stick

  • Sandpaper (dollar store nail files or emery boards work great!)

  • Scissors

  • Pliers

  • Small phillips-head screwdriver (sometimes)

Materials:

Step 1:

  • Gather 10 or 11 binder clips (usually sold as a pack of 12) and 1 LED tealight (usually 2 for a dollar at the Dollar Store).

Step 2:

  • Make your five Core Bricks (Battery Brick, LED Brick, Binder Clip Switch, Pressure Switch, and Dial Switch)

Step 3:

  • Experiment! Connect your Core Bricks (with alligator clips or your own Scrappy Clips) and find different ways to make the LED light up.

Step 4:
