Day 1

Hello inventors, authors, scientists and dreamers,

Your assignment is to participate in the Closed-Circuit Creation project.  Using materials found at our STEAM Station, you will build something completely new. It may be a toy, an invention, or a useful machine.  The ideas are up to you.  The only requirement is to build a prototype or model of your idea, that includes a closed electric circuit.  Make it light up, spin, or buzz using our electric circuit kits.  Record all your ideas in the STEAM Journal and Your Project Report on the Google Classroom document.  Take pictures of your progress using your Chromebook and add the pictures to your Project Report.

 

Day 2

 After the initial inventive planning session, let’s pause for a minute and write about your prototype or model.  Return to your Project Report on Google Classroom. Take this time to consider what you are creating. Remember the plan is to include a closed electric circuit. It will light up, beep, spin or move in some way – even if the material is not available on day two.  It’s the final product that will be represented in the written piece.  

 

Choose a style of writing that will engage a reader and help them see your vision.  Pick Just One

Dig deep and create a written piece to go along with your new model.  You have a choice.

How will your new idea be used?  Will it be a new toy?  Maybe your machine will provide a service or cure an illness.  Maybe it will allow kids to use their imaginations.
