Batteries in Series

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

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 a scatterplot for a two-variable set of data.
