The Kindergarten Project
Description of Project:
For this project we were assigned a kindergartener from Explorer to teach physics to them every week. We taught them about electricity and circuits. We got to play with snap circuits as an interactive way to help them learn about electricity. We also had to create a glow jar with a solar panel LED light, decorated for our child to then take home at the end of the project.

Reflection:
When I was first introduced to this project I was very excited. I went to Explorer myself and couldn't wait to see all of my old teachers. This project sounded really fun because what we pretty much had to do was play with kids in an educational way. My favorite part of this project was defiantly making the glow jar. It turned out so cool that I wanted one myself!
During this project I learned about circuits(the flow of electrons in a circular path), resistance (what reduces the flow of energy in a circuit), voltage (what pushes electrons coming from a battery) and ohm's law (V = I * R).

My Efforts:
I feel like I did pretty well on this project. I worked really hard and I feel like the children really benefitted from having us come and teach them.
