Mrs. Robbins' class made "Light Sabers" for yesterday's Star Wars Day - May the 4th! Mrs. Robbins sent two different colored bulbs to each student. Students compared colors and experimented what happened when both bulbs were on the battery at the same time! Afterward the students wrote in their journals: "I made a light saber!" They also drew pictures of the three things you need to make them.
