Electric Circuits is highly recommended for Grade 4 teachers as a student introduction to electricity and electric circuits. Davin Bowker of the San Juan Unified School District will lead educators through activities in which they will learn presentation strategies; explore, build and compare simple, closed, series, and parallel circuits; learn about short circuits; investigate the role of batteries, resistance, conductors, and insulators; create their own electrical inventions; and learn how to draw schematic diagrams. Teachers will tour the museum and the historic Folsom Powerhouse.
