            Description
           | 
          This lesson/activity is part of the 3 day circuit unit, but can be adapted to stand alone.  In this lesson, students use the sim to explore objects that can complete a circuit and are introduced to the terms conductors and insulators.  Students then design and construct a real-life circuit to test classroom objects. |
