​Let's Get Started!

Discuss the structure of a parallel circuit with the students. Have students build a basic dart paper plane.
Unfold the plane and add two strips of copper tape as shown in the photo. Place lights on the plane with the positive (wider) side facing outward.

Refold the plane and cut a “window” for the battery as shown. Insert the battery with the positive side touching the outer strip of tape. 
Tape the plane shut to secure the battery and add a paper clip on the bottom to hold the battery in place.
