Retrace the steps of Edison and other inventors as you build a working light bulb using the filament materials of your choice. Learn about electricity, light, properties of matter, energy, and the scientific method. Test the effects of vacuum on the life of your bulb. Perform exciting experiments.
Activities are suited to elementary, middle-school, and high school level science and technology classes with extension activities for history and social studies as well as optional probeware extension activities. (teachers or parents may pick and choose the appropriate exercises from the included manual to fit their grade level, subject area, or curriculum focus).
