⚡ Pokémon Light Card Experiment
Gr 3 & 4 Jr. Deep Program_ Ms. Chaeeun
“Let’s find out why the light turns on!”
🧩 Step 1: Make Your Pokémon Light Card!
Materials:
Copper tape · Coin battery · LED light · Paper card · Pokémon drawing
1️⃣ Fold the paper in half along the dotted line.
2️⃣ Stick the copper tapes along the path as shown in the VIDEO.
(Copper to copper ✅ / Copper to tape ❌)
3️⃣ Add the coin battery where the circle is drawn. Be careful with the + / – sides.
4️⃣ Connect the LED and light it up!
💡 When you finish, press the corner — does the light turn on?
Step 2: Observe Carefully
Look closely at your card. Think about what happened when the light turned on.
Write your observations:
When I pressed the card,

🧠 Step 3: What Do You Think Is Happening? Your ideas (before the teacher
explains)
Let’s think like scientists!
Why do you think the LED light turned on?
____________________________________________________________________________________
_______
What might be happening inside the copper tape?
____________________________________________________________________________________
_______
Why does it only work when the coin battery touches the copper tape ?

⚙️Step 4: Learn Together — Electricity and Circuits
is energy that moves through like copper.
The battery pushes to move.
The copper tape is like a for electricity.
The LED changes electrical energy into .
When the road is complete, the electricity can flow — this is a
circuit!
⚡ Step 5: Types of Circuits ( Fill in the blanks and circle the right answer!)
1️⃣ Circuit ✅
The path is complete.
Electricity can flow from the battery → through the copper tape → through the LED →
back to the battery.
🔆 Result: [ The light turns on! / No light. ]
2️⃣ Circuit ❌
The path is broken when some copper parts don’t touch or the tape is
.
If the sticky sides touch the copper tape, instead of the shiny copper sides, electricity
cannot flow.
🔇 Result: [ The light turns on! / No light. ]
🔍 Step 6: Reflection and Reasoning
Write in your own words:
How does your Pokémon light card work?
Draw the path of electricity (Battery, Copper tape, LED lights) :
⚡ Squishy Circuit Experiment
Gr 3 & 4 Jr. Deep Program_ Ms. Chaeeun
“Can play-dough carry electricity?”
🧠 Step 1: Observe and Think
Write what you see:
When Ms. Chaeeun connected the LED, ____________________________________________
The LED light ____________________________________________
⚡ Step 2: What Is a Short Circuit?
If the two conductive play-doughs touch each other, the electricity finds a
shortcut!
It skips the LED and flows directly from + to – through the dough.
🚫 This means no light — the electricity current didn’t go through the LED!
⚠️Sometimes the battery can also get hot, because the current flows too quickly.
🔍 Step 3: Compare the Circuits ( Fill in the blank and circle the right answer)
Type of Circuit What Happens Why
Circuit Light ON ✅/ No light ❌ Electricity travels through the LED.
Light ON ✅/ No light ❌ Path is broken – electricity can’t flow.
Circuit
Type of Circuit What Happens Why
Electricity takes a shortcut, skipping
Light ON ✅/ No light ❌
Circuit the LED.
🌈 Step 4: Reflection In your own words:
Why doesn’t the light turn on when the two doughs touch?
