I hope you are all safe and well! After Hurricane Ida hit South Louisiana including our city of Baton Rouge many of us lost our electricity. It can be hard on our kids without lights, TV, games, and favorite toys which are all part of their usual routine. Let's not forget air conditioning which in Baton Rouge feels necessary especially to someone who grew up in Michigan. I know that I'm always surprised to find out how much we rely on this utility and how little I know about how it all works.
I remember after Gustav, my first hurricane, when I returned to school I took time to talk to the kids about electricity. Dr Legoria came and added her wisdom and taught the kids about simple circuits. Talk about a teachable moment! I'm planning some interesting activities for when we return but for now click the picture below for something you can use at home. Hope you find this as interesting as I did. <3 Mrs. Clare Comments are closed.
