Making Flashlights Project

As a class we have been studying electricity. This past week students were given the chance to demonstrate their ability to use their knowledge of electrical circuits. Students were placed into groups, given simple materials and directed to make a flashlight with a workable switch. Below are some pictures and the questions students had to answer after complete the project. Student responses can be found in the comments section below. Enjoy!
