Hi!  I was given a bunch of LEGOs for my classroom and there are several of these bricks in the boxes.  Any insight to what these are or where they are from?

I did pull the black tab out of one, but nothing happens when I push the button.  They are dated 2005...

There is a black number on one of the bricks in teh bottom picture...each brick has a different number.

Thanks for any help.
Scott

The ones currently have a little netting in the middle.  But, I don't see why those wouldn't work.

They look like a transparent touch sensor. Not from any kit I'm familiar with though.

They are lights.  If they are not working, the batteries are dead.

They are indeed light bricks. They don't work because you needed to fort pull out the little black tab that prevents the batteries from making contact ;)

Yes. I had pulled the tabs on a couple of them, but apparently they had decreased batteries. I went ahead and pulled the other tabs and found a couple that worked.
