STEM - Paper Circuit Cards - Templates - Makerspace - Step by Step | Unit Two

I am so excited to introduce my newest classroom creation, paper circuit cards! I have been working hard to incorporate more STEM instruction into my classroom. These paper circuit cards are the most engaging way to introduce students to basic concepts of circuits and electricity. With a few simple items, you can help your students create cards that truly come to life! After hours of experimentation, I have created easy to follow templates for you guys to easily start making your own paper circuits in class! My students have such a blast with them, and enjoy the hands on learning this lesson provides them with.

Before purchasing this lesson, please make sure you are able to have cardstock to print these cards on, LED lights, copper tape, and coin batteries. Links are provided in the product to help you narrow down your shopping list if you need some guidance.

How I Use Paper Circuits in My Classroom:

I have students select which card they want and print the card and circuit template on cardstock. I then provide students with the necessary supplies and we work in small groups to navigate creating our circuits together. Once students have successfully mastered creating their own paper circuit card using the templates provided, I encourage students to create their OWN designs that they can bring to life. The creativity is truly amazing to see and this is an opportunity for students' imagine to shine! At the end, the students practice writing their own letters to loved ones using their beautiful creations!
