Electricity





Use your knowledge of series circuits to build a useful game.

  1. You will begin by preparing 6 - 8 fill in the blank questions about the topic assigned in class.
  2. Use the template given to locate the 12 - 16 dots on the front of your file folder**.
  3. Carefully (and with correct spelling) write the questions  on the left side of the file folder.
  4. Questions may be typed; they must be written neatly!
  5. Carefully write the answers along the right side; the answers should not be placed directly across from the questions.
  6. Use brass fasteners; place one at each dot.
  7. Connect conductors from one question to its correct answer (on the back of the file folder**.)
  8. Cover each conductor with masking tape.  Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all questions and answers are connected.  Remember you will be given 6 feet of masking tape.  If you wish to use electrician's tape, you must provide this.
  9. Use the circuit tester provided by your teacher to check your connections.
  10. Decorate your file folder game; write an appropriate name (based on your topic) on the tab or other prominent place**.
  11. Extra credit will be given if you design a way to make your game reusable.  This means that questions on a different topic can be inserted or applied easily.



**Use notes given in class; remember you may use an alternate object (to a file folder) but must provide it for yourself.
