Major Program: 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Core Curriculum
In a collaborative effort with Garrison Elementary the 4-H agent teamed up with the science teacher for third and fourth grade, to teach students about electricity. The goal was to have students understand transfer of energy and apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. Students were to make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric current.
