A circuit is a closed path that electrons flow along to provide power to our home and electronics. A simple electric circuit contains a power source (battery), wires, and a light bulb. In a circuit, electrons flow from the battery, through the wires, and into the light bulb. When the bulb receives enough of these electrons it will light up. 

        Last week, the students of SFC2H were so excited to face their first science experiment - - making a circuit. After they were divided into groups of 3-4 students, they received several items, then they stared to work together and make a circuit. Students also need to explain to teacher how it works once they were finished. 

        Science is the study of facts. At the same time, science is also about discovering the world around us, of knowing things, and having new and wonderful idea. Science lab experiments promote the development of scientific thinking in students. Rather than making the kids memorize the facts, they are made to think and understand things and the world around them. Students can ask questions, probe for answers, conduct investigations, and collect data. They are truly engaged in the investigative nature of scientific learning.
