The SHS Construction class recently visited Mrs. Stamey’s 5th grade science class at SES to teach students about electrical circuits. During the visit, they explained the different parts of a circuit, how to build one, and the function of each component. Students then participated in a hands-on activity where they created their own circuits and tested them. By completing a closed circuit, they were able to see electricity in action as their light bulbs lit up!
We are so proud of our students for sharing their knowledge, leading by example, and inspiring future learners!
