Who this list is for
Upper-elementary students making a low-voltage paper circuit card can use this simple circuit card project supply list. It follows school rules for coin-cell batteries and requires every battery to be collected afterward.
How to use this list
Give each student a cardstock sheet, printable circuit template, coin-cell battery, low-voltage LED light, pencil, and eraser. Students can trace the template, place copper conductive tape along the marked path, and use clear tape or paper clips where the template calls for them. Colored pencils can finish the card after the circuit setup is checked. Keep the safety battery storage box available throughout.
Common mistakes
Do not leave coin-cell batteries on desks or send them home with students. Count batteries before and after the project, and return every one to the safety battery storage box. Avoid substituting unlisted power sources or LEDs. If a circuit does not work, have students check the template and tape path under school supervision rather than forcing parts together.
What is on this list
This list includes one coin-cell battery and one low-voltage LED light per card, plus copper conductive tape, cardstock sheets, printable circuit templates, clear tape, paper clips, pencils, erasers, colored pencils, and one safety battery storage box. Cross off pencils, erasers, tape, or colored pencils already on hand.
When you are done
Collect all coin-cell batteries immediately and place them in the safety storage box. Check tables and floors for loose batteries, LEDs, paper clips, and tape scraps. Store completed cards separately from the batteries and return unused circuit supplies to the teacher.
