Looking for a fun and easy way to learn math, history, countries, capitals, etc.? Use your knowledge of electricity to make this game for you, your family, and friends. By changing the questions and answers on the electric quiz game to facts about other subjects you will increase your knowledge in many areas.
You could also try using pencils wrapped in aluminum foil for your probes as an alternate option to nails. Make sure the copper wire of the light bulb is touching the foil and use tape to secure the two ends together.
Wrap tape around each separate end to secure the paper clip in place. Touch one of the paper clips to the foil sticking out of a question hole and the other paper clip to the appropriate answer. If the light bulb lights, you have found the correct answer. Elyse James began writing professionally in after deciding to pursue a career in journalism. She has written for "The Algonquin Times" as a general assignment reporter and published blogs and articles on Webcitybeat.
James holds a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Ottawa. Share It. That's all and now u have to follow the schematic. U can can select the question and the answer using the crocodile clips. When the right answer is connected to the question, because they are connected using wires electricity is allowed to pass and the circuit is completed and the light is being lighted otherwise not. Select your question and the answer and the light will light.
U can even connect a buzzer but it consumed too much energy and didn't allow the light bulb to light properly so I removed it as I didn't had much time so I avoided the use of resistors and capacitors.
We completed this project over the course of two days due to some scheduling conflicts, hence the wardrobe change. Next, we cut longer wires to serve as the "answer probes" for the quiz-taker to use when trying their luck at the questions and answers. We attached nails to the end of these wires by wrapping the wire around the end of the nail and then taping it in place with electrical tape. A nail isn't necessary here, but this way there was something more to hold onto when connecting the questions to the answers.
As an aside, one of my favorite parts of doing this project with Mason, was him, without any prompting from me, occasionally trying to guess the next step as we went along. Did I mention this was a great project to do with eager-to-learn kids? After the final wire connections were made, we need to make a written answer key based on how the wires are connected on the back.
That way, when creating a quiz, we will know which number on the left goes with which letter on the right. This involved looking at the back to see where the wires were hooked up and then verifying it by connecting the probes.
With all of the wire stripping, gluing and connecting of wires complete, it's time to finally craft our first quiz! Mason is a big fan of something else I was also really into when I was his age: the solar system, so we made his first quiz about planets and other bodies in the solar system. After testing it ourselves to make sure we had everything labeled correctly, we had his mom, my cousin Lisa, take the quiz.
Unfortunately, Mason has already quizzed Lisa about the solar system verbally while in the car, for example over the past few years so she knew most of the answers already.
But we were still able to trick her on a few of them, and Mason was really excited when she got one wrong. I told him not to fret that she got so many right though because it meant he was clearly a good teacher!
That's it!
