Light Bulb Experiment The activity is perfect for encouraging the researching skills for the students, while learning more about this fantastic place. Light Bulb This friendly designed worksheet is suitable for students at school, homeschooling, and as a group activity. Instructions Make a rectangle using copper tape along the illustration. Now tape the LED pins to each side of the upper gap, making sure they don't touch so the light won't be short-circuited. Place the battery in its place in the illustration and allow it to touch one end of the tape. The LED should light up now, if it doesn't, then flip the battery over. Cut the light bulb out and glue on top of the LED pins to watch it light up! Materials Needed Copper tape 2.5mm LEDs Scissors Button Battery Format Available in a PDF format.
