Electricity Circuit


Series Circuit: which bulb is in one continues line.


Parallel Circuit: A circuit in which the bulb is divided up evenly. 

This week we will be learning how to build simple circuits and also how to correctly draw them

Activity: 

Go on to the PHET website and click on LAB: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html

I want you to construct a few different circuits, try to make them and then take a screenshot of them and post the pic here.


  1. A circuit containing a battery, a light bulb, connected by wires:







  1. Now add a switch into the circuit you just made, what happens when the switch is open or closed?






  1. Now click on the battery and increase the voltage it supplies to the circuit. What happened?



  1. Underneath the switch there is an arrow, scroll through the options to the end and try putting some random things into the circuit like a coin or dog. What happens to light bulbs? It lights a lot and the full energy of the batteries






Experiment:

We will actually build circuits when you come back!

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
