Center for Children and Technology: No Way: Electricity

Curated by ACT

Moving away from the fantasy worlds of video games, No Way draws middle schoolers into a compelling real-life scenario in which they are editorial interns at a science-themed website. This classroom activity on electricity offers a fun way for students to develop the critical thinking and science literacy skills they will need in order to become critical consumers of scientific information and reporting.
