Initial Idea
Think about what you know about electricity. Using the whiteboard/sketch app on your device, spend 5 minutes completing the Frayer model. Remember to do your own thinking...you'll have a chance to share.

After the human circuit, you are going to create a storyboard that explains what we did in class and the science behind it.
You may use software of your choice or ones previously used in class:

Exploring Conductivity: Kid Circuits
From the PBS Learning Media website - In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members become electron conductors to reconnect a broken electric circuit. By joining hands, the cast members complete, or close, a circuit that had been broken when the lemon powering a digital clock was sliced in half. Power is restored as soon as electrons are again allowed to flow uninterrupted from the lemon battery to the clock.
