 Circuit Science
Brilliant experiment!
Literally and figuratively speaking.

I set this up for a trial round prior to inviting the little scientist to join in!
When I finally got it working, it was like a light went off!!
None of us could resist walking by the circuit without giving it a go!

Posing with Brilliance!

It's also a great opportunity for problem-solving and understanding the importance of connection in circuitry.
A few times the batteries rolled apart, so O had to follow the circuit to locate the disconnection.

EXPAND ON LIGHT/ELECTRICITY
Was it actually Edison? http://www.livescience.com/43424-who-invented-the-light-bulb.html
