Physical Education
- The child learned about hand-eye coordination while manipulating the wires and connecting them to the plug.
- They developed fine motor skills by carefully twisting and tightening the screws on the plug.
- Through the activity, the child gained an understanding of electrical safety and the importance of turning off the power before working with plugs.
- They also improved their problem-solving skills as they followed the correct steps to wire the plug correctly.
Continued development can be encouraged by providing the child with more opportunities to practice working with electrical circuits and devices. This could involve activities such as building simple circuits using batteries and wires or exploring more complex electrical components under supervision.
