Closed-up shot. The switch is currently open.

# data[].attributes.body
I used a small piece of wood and drilled paper clips and screws into the block of wood.
The switch consists of 2 screws, 2 paper clips and a block of wood. The first paper clip sits on the hinge and when it is closed, it slots into the second paper clip. For safety, the handle is insulated with rubber (the black thing).

Simple DIY switch using only a piece of paper and paperclips!

# data[].attributes.body
I used an old correction tape box, a paperclip (it had a plastic covering but i removed it) and 2 thumb tacks. this actually took a really short time.

This is my DIY switch. It consists of a eraser, 2 thumb tacks and a safety pin.

A little video on how I made the circuit and tested it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my switch. It’s made of two erasers and three paper clips. (One for the hinge of the switch and two for the conductors.)

# data[].attributes.body
When taking a photo of the circuit, I was unsuccessful because the bulb was not that bright so I put 2 batteries.

# data[].attributes.body
Materials: 1 cardboard, 3 paperclips

I can make the light bulb light up using the components below.

# data[].attributes.body
My switch is made of two paper clips. For electricity to flow through, the paper clips have to be in contact with the wire.

I could not make the light bulb light up without the battery holder as my hands were shaky.

The pin will connect the two metal parts when the switch is closed.

# data[].attributes.body
The materials I used to make the switch are 2 thumbtacks, 1 paperclip and 1 eraser

# data[].attributes.body
To close the circuit, the paper clip has to be in contact with the metal end of the wire so that electrons will flow through the wire to light the bulb up.

# data[].attributes.body
I made my switch using two paper clips joined together.  To open the circuit, I will move one of the paper clips so that it does not come into contact with the metal end of the wire.

Materials used: country eraser, thumbtacks, paper clip, wires.

The paper clip attached to the thumbtack opens or closes the circuit

This is my switch. It may look like i used thumbtacks but since i had none i had to improvise and use paper fasterners.

# data[].attributes.body
I used paper and brass pins, then I slot the two different papers together and the brass pins closed the circuit

My switch consists of an eraser with a paper clip being held by a thumbtack connected to it.

Here is my DIY switch.

# data[].attributes.body
I used that tweezer thingy to bend the paper clips to different shapes, and stuck it through the eraser.

# data[].attributes.body
Materials used: Two paper clips, eraser, duct tape, staples, metal strips

# data[].attributes.body
This is my switch.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the switch from a pin, some card board, the copper strip from the electrical set and a part of a clip.

# data[].attributes.body
To make this, just cut out a rectangle from an insulator and tape a copper strip to it. Clip on a paper clip (or whatever that thing is) within clipping distance. At the bottom clip, attach a wire. Same with the copper strip.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my switch. It is made up of cardboard, 2 nails and a big paper clip that is bended to loop around one nail and be straight at the other end to close the circuit.

I made a video on YouTube with my DIY switch. Click on this video to watch.
Basically, the base is an eraser with some yellow paper with two clips mounted on it. You can flip the paper clip up and down to turn off and on respectively.

Here is a video of my circuit using my DIY switch.

This is a photo of my circuit. It is currently closed.

This is a photo of the set-up I used. It is currently open.

Here is a photo of my switch. I used a ball magnet to make it. You can stick it onto a crocodile clip. To close it, stick it onto another crocodile clip.

Note: DO NOT use glue to stick the magnet. It will stay on the clip by itself.

My diy switch
This is the video of it
I used erasers, aluminium foil, rubber bands and a ruler for this.

Here is a video of my switch.

# data[].attributes.body
I created this switch with a clothes peg and some staples. You basically clip your wires on the switch, and, depending on the side you used, you ‘open’ the clothes peg to open or close the circuit.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my DIY switch. It may not look like one but it really works.

I have made it out of an eraser and some paper clips. The two paper clips stuck into the eraser are the connection points and the other paper clip that is connected to the left one is the "connector".

To close the circuit, you hook the hanging paper clip onto the right side paper clip in the eraser. To break the circuit, you unhook one side that the hooked paper clip is hooked onto.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my homemade DIY switch. I used an old breadboard to make the base as the mini nails I used cannot pierce through the erasers well, so the switch keeps breaking apart.

# data[].attributes.body
I made this switch with eraser, paper clips and pins(the sort where you pin stuff onto cork boards). As long as the two paper clips touch each other, the electrical current will be able to flow through.

# data[].attributes.body
The switch is made of copper which is the most common material used in electrical wires. To turn the switch on/off, simply rotate the copper strip. The switch and bulb holder are mounted on a rubber object which is an insulator.

This is your first time posting on Padlet in my classroom.

Some rules to observe before posting:

1. Always include your full name & teaching group at the top of your post. Any anonymous posts will be deleted immediately.

2. Be careful not to use rude and offensive language.

3. Make a good impression.

Use proper spelling and grammar. Break up information into smaller paragraphs when there is a lot of information. It will be easier to read.

Happy sharing & typing :)

Looking forward to seeing all your creations!
