| This activity is appropriate for students ages 9 and up. Any children under the age of 9 who attend will not be allowed to participate in soldering due to its dangerous nature. |
| |
| After inspecting a "real" flashlight,
students hypothesize about and draw the electrical connections in the
flashlight, and what it means to have an open vs. closed circuit.
Students design, build and solder their own circuit. Placing the circuit into the Flashlight casing and decorating
the outside provides an exciting focus for this activity. |
