Makey Makey Lessons:Check out the simple circuits lesson:

http://makeymakey.com/lessons/

Students will:• ● Investigate whether a variety of materials are

electrically conductive.• ● Infer that objects with some metal or moisture

(water)in them consistently work as conductors.• ● Infer that connecting to “Earth” completes the

circuit through the user’s body. • ● Identify all the components of a complete circuit

(power, load, switch).
