Activity Board - Conductivity Experiment

Spark curiosity about electricity and energy with this engaging Conductivity Experiment Activity Board, designed to introduce children to the basics of electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way. Perfect for classrooms, STEM corners, and science learning spaces, this interactive panel allows students to explore how electricity flows through different materials—and even through their own bodies!

Made from high-quality European birch plywood and beech wood, the board is both durable and visually appealing, ideal for everyday classroom or centre use.

The board features two distinct electric circuits:

• The top circuit challenges children to complete the path by pressing one of four buttons, each representing a different material. As they experiment with plastic, metal, tile, or wood, they’ll discover which materials conduct electricity and which act as insulators.

• The bottom circuit invites children to become part of the experiment! When they touch both hand sensors at once, their bodies complete the circuit and the light turns on—demonstrating that humans are natural conductors of electricity.

This captivating, inquiry-based learning tool helps children connect science concepts with real-world experiences.
