Build-Your-Own Lamp STEM Kit – Electric Circuits & Switches Science

Students build a functional lamp while exploring circuits in one of the most practical hands-on STEM activities. As they connect wires, a bulb, and a switch, they observe how electricity flows and how switches control energy — turning real-world engineering and design concepts into something they can actually switch on.

This ready-to-use kit is a valuable addition to any energy or circuits unit, with reusable materials built for repeated classroom use.

Why Teachers Love This Kit:

• Learning Concepts: Electric circuits, energy flow, and switches (NGSS PS3)
• NGSS Aligned: Supports Next Generation Science Standards for Energy Transfer and Electrical Systems
• Setup & Use: Zero prep, reusable, ideal for small groups or partner work

Perfect for energy and circuits lessons, STEM stations, and physical science units in grades 3–5.
