Series resources

Using the equipment supplied students make a series circuit according to a circuit diagram. Then students are asked to construct another circuit using different criteria and draw as a circuit diagram.

Students use a diagram of a circuit to answer questions about which bulbs are in parallel and which are in series. Students are also required to put a switch into the circuit diagram provided.

Students indicate how brightly a bulb would glow in three different circuits. Students then use pictures of four appliances, showing the arrangement of their cells, to draw circuit symbol diagrams illustrating this cell arrangement.
