Electric Circuit Cootie Catcher
It is my hope that this is not only addictive for your students, but addictive for you as well! Cootie catchers (or fortune tellers) are a great way to “trick” your students into learning without them even knowing it. Concepts in science are based around students first understanding the vocabulary and then learning the concept. Test scores have gone up and it is a great way to get them to transition to science class.

parallel circuit
series circuit
