By now, most third graders have had two solid years of learning about an engineer's work. While it's a quick answer to say "THEY SOLVE PROBLEMS," third graders are seeing how they can use their knowledge of electricity to put engineer and electrical together.
We had quite some great discussions about electricity as a form of energy and how it can change to other forms of energy, like light, heat and sound. Third graders also seemed to know that it has something to do with batteries (maybe?), wires and light bulbs. Students had time to generate their own questions about electricity. The photo to the left shows a sampling of questions they generated!
