For this lesson, students actively investigate the differences between parallel and series circuits and how the brightness of bulbs is affected.

Students will work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. It analyzes Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.

Determine the total energy stored on a group of capacitors in a combination circuit.

A hands-on lesson for helping students understand simple circuits, series circuits, and parallel circuits, and the differences between the three.

Everyday we are surrounded by circuits that use "in parallel" and "in series" circuitry. Complicated circuits designed by engineers are composed of many simpler parallel and series circuits. During this activity, students build a simple...

As part of a unit on electrical circuits, students will work in collaborative groups to create a video of how to construct parallel and series circuits. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Presents methods for solving electrical circuit problems where there is a combination of series and parallel circuit features.

What is an electronic circuit? Resource provides a discussion of series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits plus more.

Kids learn about resistors in series and parallel in the science of electricity and physics including equations, circuits, and example problems.
