We can see the result of electricity  but not the process itself. The simulation compares electric circuits to a water tower and water wheel cycle. Young scientists adjust the height of the tower, the amount of resistance, and if...

Seven circuits are spread over three pages. One is a parallel circuit, one is a series circuit, and the rest are combinations. Emergent electrical engineers solve for current, voltage, or resistance. They fill in a chart for each...

Electricians draw four different circuits and answer questions about the resistance, voltage drop, and current at different points in each. Completing this worksheet will help make sure that your class is understanding what is happening...

Students work in cooperative pairs to create a series circuit and a parallel circuit. Students compare and contrast the two different types of circuits using worksheets that are included.

High schoolers work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. They analyze Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.

Eighth graders examine batteries in a series circuit and the associated voltage. They determine, through inquiry and problem solving, that the total voltage of batteries in a series is the sum of the voltage of each battery. They design...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The differences between series and parallel circuits are highlighted. Provides an in-depth look at how to solve problems about circuits and resistors. Includes a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn about parallel circuit design, and how to calculate equivalent resistance from resistors in a parallel circuit.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn about series circuit design, and the role of resistors in maintaining the integrity of a circuit.
