Getting a Charge out of Studying Electricity

For the last two days the students have been solving scientific problems in groups using the materials provided, and writing their work down using the steps of the scientific method.  Yesterday their challenge was to make a light bulb turn on.  Here are the results.

And God said let there be light!

Lightbulb!!!!!!

Simple, right?

Today they had to make the light bulb turn on and off by using a switch.  Every group needed more than one attempt and they had to revise their plans in the process.  Check out the video.
