Jackson 4th graders had a hands-on lesson in energy transfer and conversion during a recent "Light It Up" activity in Ms. Sotsky's STEAM Lab.

In the investigation, the learners teams up and applied scientific ideas to design, test and refine a circuit that transfers energy and converts it from one form to another.

Using just 2 D- cell batteries and a box full of connector wires, miniature light bulbs and a switch, the groups tested different methods until they were able to get all three bulbs lit!

It took some trial and error and troubleshooting, but each team was successful in making the connection!
