parallel circuit
Part of Lesson Plan: **Circuits (updated) By Richie Rizzonelli
Activity Overview / Details
The students will refer to their diagrams to build parallel circuit on an on electrical trainer breadboard (GM SET ) utilizing jumper wires, three light bulbs, and a switch. I remind them that a parallel circuit has more than one path for current flow and to keep this in mind.
Assessment
Students will correctly construct a parallel circuit - The (3) light bulbs will illuminate
