Science Saturday - Circuits and Electricity

Presented by Science Connections

Ready to get charged up? Learn about Circuits and Electricity. Space is limited, registration required. Ages 6-10.

Ready to get charged up? Join Science Connections as we explore the shocking world of circuits and electricity! We'll build our own simple circuits, light up LEDs, and discover what makes electricity flow (and what stops it in its tracks). Along the way, learn about conductors, insulators, and the basic building blocks of the technology we use every day.

Registration required.  Register online or call 240-773-9550 beginning 3 weeks before the event.  For children ages 6 - 10.  Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
