Great class everyone! Today were learned about electricity, how to make a circuit and then constructed and sent messages via our homemade telegraph. If you would like to make one yourself, check out this video :

Homework: For the younger kids, research Samuel Morse and the telegraph...tell me about a great story involving a telegraph message, draw me a picture of a telegraph machine and label it or write about Samuel's life.
For the older kids, tell me what made the telegraph better than any forms of communication at that time and what changes to society you think the telegraph made. You may also draw a Ven Diagram to compare and contrast the telegraph to other forms of communication of the day.
Just for fun, using your Morse Code alphabet, tap out a message and see if someone can decipher it! See you next time 10/13
