Lighting Up History
The Lighting Up History Project Project overview Middle school science teachers often seek to engage students in learning portions of the history of science and innovation as part of their work around the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) focused on Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World (NGSS Lead States 2013). Once students ob- serve the difference between how many lights can be lit on a parallel and series circuit, the teacher can ask, \"Why does the parallel circuit light up more bulbs?\" We would expect students to reply with an explanation of how all the electrons in a series circuit that make it to the second bulb have gone through the first bulb. [...]they lay down each of their positive leads (anodes) and attach them to the microprocessor, using alligator clips between the tape and the microcontroller (better for reuse of the microprocessors later) or by connecting the tape directly to the microprocessors by either looping it through the hole on the microcontroller or folding the sticky side over on itself to create a sort of tail that can touch the microcontroller. [...]with the positive and negative lines in place and attached to the microprocessor, students can add detailed elements to their drawing.
