Introduction to Electricity – Play-Doh Circuits Hands-On – Teacher

Summary

Teacher’s guide for an activity where students build and test series and parallel circuits using Play-Doh, LED diodes, and a 9-volt battery, then test everyday materials to classify them as conductors or insulators. Extension activities cover Ohm’s Law calculations and basic circuit diagrams. Includes an answer key. Works well for middle school physical science or an introductory high school electricity unit.
