Science
- The child learned about the concept of electricity and how it flows in a circuit.
- They learned about the different components of an electric circuit, such as batteries, wires, and bulbs.
- The child gained an understanding of how to draw a simple electric circuit diagram.
- They learned that electricity needs a complete path to flow and that switches can control the flow of electricity.
Continued development can include conducting simple experiments to further explore the concepts of electricity and circuits. This can involve creating different circuits using various materials and observing the effects. Additionally, the child can be encouraged to research and learn about different types of circuits and their applications in everyday life.
