Students in Barb Kuck’s fourth-grade class construct series and parallel circuits with the snap circuit kits provided by the Ohio Energy Project. Miss Kuck participated in a professional development opportunity specifically for fourth-grade teachers and as a result received $300 worth of curriculum materials, including five sets of snap circuits, digital thermometers, circuit batons, and other hands on manipulatives in their study of electricity, circuits, and thermal energy.
