Scrappy Circuits
Scrappy Circuits is an innovative and scrappy way to learn about electrical circuits for around $1 per person.
Teachers can build class sets that kids can easily take home for around $20.
Step 1:
Gather 11 binder clips (usually sold as a pack of 12) and 1 LED tealight (usually 2 for a dollar at the Dollar Store).
Gather a few other household items (cardboard, 2 paper clips, aluminium foil, glue, and a marker)
Step 2:
Make your five Core Bricks (Battery Brick, LED Brick, Binder Clip Switch, Pressure Switch, and Dial Switch)
Step 3:
Experiment! Connect your Core Bricks (with alligator clips or your own
Scrappy Clips
) and find different ways to make the LED light up.
Step 4:
More! Build some of the Other Bricks and design new circuits and create some amazing inventions.
Step 5:
Share! Send some pictures to
info@scrappycircuits.com
or post them on
