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

Summary

Students follow step-by-step instructions to build and test series and parallel circuits using Play-Doh, LED diodes, and a 9-volt battery, recording observations and forming hypotheses along the way. The lab includes a conductors and insulators testing section, Ohm’s Law math problems, and a circuit diagram drawing extension. Designed for middle school physical science, with extension tasks that stretch into introductory high school.
