This activity is
appropriate for children ages 11 and up.
This activity includes
the use of soldering irons.
In this activity,
students become electrical engineers! Students use the same tools
engineers use to construct their own traffic lights. This
activity will show the basics of electrical circuits and
components. It illustrates how these components work individually
as well as how they work together. Students will also learn
electrical component vocabulary, how to read schematics, and how to
construct and test simple circuits.
