Abstract
This step-by-step video guide is a helpful introduction showing teachers and parents how to make Rudolph’s nose light up with a simple electrical circuit.
Rudolph is very sad. His nose is not lighting up, and Santa and the rest of the reindeer can’t find their way to all the houses. Can you help him?
In this Christmas STEM activity for kids, students will experiment with a simple series electrical circuit in an attempt to light up Rudolph’s nose. This fun experiment will encourage students to have fun with science.
