Science
- The child learned about the basic components of an electricity circuit, such as the battery, wires, and light bulb.
- They learned how to connect the components in a circuit to make the light bulb light up.
- The child discovered that an open or broken circuit will not allow electricity to flow and the light bulb will not light up.
- They also learned that electricity can only flow in a closed circuit.
For continued development, encourage the child to explore more complex circuits or experiment with different materials to see if they affect the flow of electricity. They can also learn about different sources of electricity and how it is generated.
