Electronic Discoveries

Austyn loves to play with his electrical board. Sometimes he experiments with each project in the accompanying book and sometimes he just messes around with it until he discovers something all on his own. Here he discovered that he didn't need a third battery. He grouped a bunch of electronic pieces together to fit in the place of a battery and the light came on. He thought at first that he made a battery. I corrected him and explained what was happening. I also showed him with a wire how to complete the connection. 

He then moved on to finding good electrical conductors. He tried water and many house hold items between wires to see if the light turns on.
