This resource outlines a hands-on project for students to create light-up greeting cards using simple electronic components. It includes a list of materials required, both teacher-provided and for student use, along with step-by-step instructions for building a working LED circuit on cardstock. Key concepts such as electricity flow, polarity, and the function of copper tape as an electrical pathway are also explained in detail. The project is structured into clear phases, guiding students from planning their circuit to troubleshooting any issues. It encourages creativity through the decoration of the cards and includes reflection and peer feedback opportunities. Extension ideas for more complex circuits are also provided, making it suitable for various skill levels.
