Electricity and Magnet Lab/Builds
These labs/builds are fun and interactive for your students. I use a student led approach, where students are given the materials and must figure out on their own how to create the pathways. This allows students to OWN their learning. I typically have students working in teams of three or four. Three seems to usually be the magic number where all stay engaged and involved, but available materials can make a difference in the size of your groupings.
