Summary
In this assignment, students will use their knowledge of simple and parallel circuits to design and build a picture or card with a working light-up component. Students will need to work collaboratively and problem solve to accomplish this task. Through lots of trial and error students gain a much better understanding of conductors, switches, the semiconducting properties of LED bulbs, parallel circuits, and short circuits.
