Introduction to Electricity – Play-Doh Circuits Hands-On – Student

Summary

The “Play-Doh Electric Circuits Lab” is a hands-on electricity lab where students use conductive and non-conductive Play-Doh to build and test parallel and series circuits. Students learn how to differentiate between conductors and insulators and discover how component placement affects the flow of electricity. The lab also includes extension activities to teach Ohm’s Law and basic circuit diagrams.
