Switch hunt results

On the Switch Hunt worksheet students list the switches they found at home, where each is located, what it controls, and what you have to do to operate it. For example, a light switch is located on the wall, it controls the flow of electrical energy to a light fixture, and you operate it by pushing it up (ON) or pulling it down (OFF). Other ways you might operate a switch could be by turning a knob, sliding something, pulling a string or chain or pushing a button down and holding it.
