Each student will build a motor kit, and then run the motor using a battery to learn how magnetism and electricity make a motor turn. Limit of 10 Students. Limited to grades 5-8. 

Electrical Circuits: is a 20 minute session where we will explain how an electic circuit works to turn on a light. Students will build a simple circuit they can take home.
