We were being great electricians in science this week as we figured out how to light our bulbs. We then talked about the difference between the incandescent bulb (originally invent by Thomas Edison) and the compact fluorescent bulb. Even though the compact fluorescent bulb is more expensive, it does save you money as it lasts a lot longer than the incandescent bulb.
Next week the kids will be trying to recreate Thomas Edison's experiment and get a homemade light bulb to light. The have drawn their plans in their science journals and some students have shared their ideas with the class.
