Description

Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. In the Delta Science Modules Electrical Circuits Complete Kit, your class will learn how to master simple open and closed circuits, followed by constructing parallel and series circuits. Students will investigate the factors, besides switches, that affect the flow of current. They will design circuit testers to determine how well certain solids and liquids conduct electric current. They’ll also demonstrate resistance by comparing the bulb brightness produced by different wires. For fun, students can create circuit puzzles to outwit one another with hidden configurations! Finally, your class can also learn to depict their own sophisticated electrical setups with circuit diagrams.

Along with the kit activities, the Electrical Circuits Delta Science Delta Reader (and complementary Skillbuilders booklet that helps students practice reading/grammar/writing/vocabulary skills with the content from the Delta Science Reader) will get students to read and learn even more about electric charge, electric current, electrical circuits, and two ways in which electricity and magnetism are related. The book also presents biographical sketches of key innovators in this field, Thomas Alva Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Lewis Howard Latimer, and describes the work of an electrician. Students will also discover how water power is used to make electricity, and how much energy various household appliances use.

Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) consist of a total of 59 assorted kits ranging from Grade K to 8 levels, each with a step-by-step teacher guide, student readers, 12-14 interconnected activities, and enough equipment to serve up to 32 students. Select kits also contain a pre-paid coupon for Living materials. Educators have the flexibility to have students follow the detailed activities that are provided, or customize their own curriculum plan with the equipment provided.
