Empowering Multilingual Learners

Creative Electric Highway

In our Advanced English I class, we made an "Electric High-Way" as one of our trial projects for our presentations at Junior High School's later this year.  The challenge was to create a 90 centimeter long conductive path, that could bring electricity from the battery to a motor.  Students had to use at least four of the provided materials, and this group went above and beyond.  They clearly understood that metals were conductive, but, they got creative with their design, using a ring, scissors, paper clips and more, and even creating a cardboard obstacle.  It's like a Rube Goldberg for electric current.  Great work!
