Flashlights and Batteries
Students examine how batteries work, how they provide power to the simple circuit within the battery, and how the switch controls the flow of electrons; students then disassemble a flashlight, and draw a schematic of a flashlight's...
Curated OER
Electricity
Young scholars experiment with a series of circuits. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss voltage, resistance and current as they flow through an electrical circuit. They work in pairs to solve the questions.
