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.
