C6: Electronics – Switches and Logic Gates

Aim:
 To make a basic switch using foil and cardboard that can control an LED.

Requirements:

  • Cardboard (small piece)

  • Aluminium foil

  • Scissors

  • Tape

  • LED

  • 3V battery (coin cell)

  • Connecting wires

Steps:

  1. Cut two small rectangles of aluminium foil.

  2. Stick one piece of foil flat on the base of the cardboard.

  3. Tape the other piece of foil to a flap of cardboard so that it can press down onto the bottom foil.

  4. Connect the two foil pieces in a simple circuit with the battery and LED.

  5. Press the flap — if the foil touches, the circuit closes and the LED lights up!

Working:

Students explore how a switch can break or complete a circuit to control electricity. They learn by building a real working switch.
