Squishy Circuits....such a simple way to explore the energy flow and circuits.    

I first used Squishy Circuits in a 6th Grade class while co-teaching with a science teacher to introduce circuits to his class.  It quickly spread to Grade 3.

Soon we had a "Professional Learning Playdate" session with teachers.  And now they are ordering the supplies they need to let students explore and expand this Pre-K to G8.
This seems to be enjoyed by all ages

The Why...


AnnMarie Thomas decided to expand exploration of circuits with everyday materials because engineering is important for all students.
