From PBS’ Adventures in Learning, Jennifer Cooper hosts an Electric Dough playdate to make and test circuits.
For this project, developed by engineering educator AnnMarie Thomas, you’ll need homemade conductive play dough and insulating play dough, a battery pack, batteries (we highly recommend these rechargeables), and light emitting diodes/LEDS.
