Yellow group – play-dough sculpture circuits

Today we were making play-dough sculptures and made them into circuits. We decided to make a caterpillar 🐛.

We used blue, orange, green and white play-dough. The white play-dough is an insulator. The rest are conductors. Also we used 2 orange LED lights and a battery pack🔋. We needed 2 googly eyes but we did not have any so we made some paper eyes.

After we finished we tried to make a dinosaur but it took too long 🦕. The body was made out of different coloured play-dough. The eyes were made from paper. We all enjoyed this task for science. When we turned the batteries on the LED lights turned on and the caterpillar looked very cool 💡.We used the insulator play-dough to stop the positive and negative electrons from colliding. Here are some photos we took during this activity.
