Squishy Circuits Electronics Lab Set
Squishy Circuits are a fun way for you to explore electricity by making your own conductive & insulating dough. I wrote this lab for high school students, and you can expand this lab with other electrical kits. You can also make the electronic parts with salvaged motors and battery holders, or buy kits from Squishy Circuits. I found that the 10 mm LED's used for this are fragile, so you can 3D print a LED holder using this package to make the LED's last and be easier to handle! Learn Ohm's law
