This guide offers an overview of circuit block investigations and focuses on an inquiry model for classroom discovery. It lists the basic materials and tools needed to create blocks, and then delves into some background information on where students can find electricity in their everyday lives.

In this project, students make discoveries about electricity and current by creating connections between different types of circuit blocks – batteries, lights, motors, and anything else we can create! Circuit blocks also emphasize the trial and error process while encouraging creativity. The activity can be tailored to classes spanning kindergarten to high school.
