Today, for a class that I am taking, I created a Squishy Circuit. Squishy Circuits are made from two types of dough, conductive and insulating. Conductive dough is one that allows an electrical current to pass through it. Insulating dough does not allow current to pass through. Using the two together, along with some LEDs, I am able to make a circuit that lights up the LEDs.
Below is a video showing what was created and how it works. One thing I did not say on the video is that connecting the red (positive) wire to the bottom of the head means that I needed to put the long (positive) end of the LEDs on the bottom half of the head as well. Otherwise, the lights would not have lit up, since LEDs only work in one direction. You can discover more about Squishy Circuits on the Resources page of our web site.
