Flip switches around the house and figure out which switch controls what.

Category: Math & Science · Duration: ~5 min

1. Stand next to a light switch and let your little one flip it. What turned on? 2. Try another one. Some switches are tricky — they control a light in a different room. 3. Go on a scavenger hunt: can you figure out what every switch in one room controls? 4. Talk about how flipping the switch opens a tiny gate that lets electricity flow to the light. 5. Try finding a switch that doesn't seem to control anything. Mystery!
