What Do You Know About Circuits?
Watch as Laura and Kelly connect what youth think they know about circuits to new ideas. Frontline staff guide youth in thinking more about circuits and link it to real life examples that are meaningful to youth.
Video-Based Learning Module
As you watch the q2002 video below, think about these questions:
- What does staff do here to connect prior knowledge to the idea of an electrical circuit? (0:10 – 0:30)
- What is staff doing here to engage youth in the activity? (0:58 – 1:05)
- How do staff model strategies connecting youth to the science principles they are currently learning about? (1:15 -1:26)
- What would you do differently to connect youth’s prior knowledge about circuitry?
Now that you've watched the video, reflect on what you saw and post your responses.
- Why is it important for staff to engage in the activity alongside youth?
- Were youth engaged in this activity? How could you tell?
- Using the activity as a guide, how could you connect what youth are learning about electrical circuits to real world issues or concerns?
