Energy Ball Circut

                                          

Series Circuit

The very first scientific activity we did in class today was about electrical circuits, where we investigated the differences between series circuits and parallel circuits.

Parallel Circuit

Each group of approximately 4 people were given a energy ball that would flash and sound if a correct circuit was established. For learning purposes, each group was given a dozen questions to answer, such as including 2 energy balls in the circuit. It was surprising that our bodies could act as wires and the energy ball was able to function in a closed circuit.

I think this activity was definitely a fun and awesome learning experience, while the questions kept us thinking and learning.
The idea of working in groups was also very enjoyable, because i felt much more relaxed working in a group and the fact that we could exchange ideas was also very helpful.
            
An experiment during our first class did take me by surprise, and I think I am starting to love this class. Definitely looking forward to future classes and more awesome activities!

p.s. the class challenge at the end was very very cool :)
