Students explore circuits.  In this electricity science lesson plan, students build a circuit board after viewing a related PowerPoint presentation. Detailed instructions are included.

Students demonstrate simple circuits and find the differences between parallel and serial circuits.  In this electronic lesson plan students work in teams to test different designs using a low voltage light bulb. 

Students discuss the Earth's energy. In this science instructional activity, students construct a simple circuit, a series circuit, and a parallel circuit.

Sixth graders make an electrical switch. In this electricity lesson, 6th graders will make an electrical switch, a series circuit, and a parallel circuit. They explain an open and closed circuit and give examples of  series and...

Electrify your classroom as you lead pupils through a series of steps to demonstrate basic principles of electricity and magnetism. They design a simple circuit and test this for static electricity and current electricity. Next,...

Young scholars study simple circuits. After a demonstration of parallel and serial circuit designs, students work in teams to predict the difference between two circuit designs. They build examples of two different circuits and test...

Eighth graders discuss series and parallel circuits and design an investigation to test a hypothesis on total resistance of series and parallel circuits in combination. After discussion, groups design their experiments, run tests, and...

Fifth graders discover the differences between parallel and series circuits. They draw and construct the two types of circuits using wires, bulbs, batteries, sockets, and switches.

Students build parallel circuits, exploring how they function and looking at their unique features. They describe how current changes when batteries are added in parallel or removed from a parallel arrangement, demonstrate the process of...

Students investigate simple series circuits and their properties. In small groups they draw a circuit diagram on their Series Circuit Building worksheet, follow step-by-step directions to construct a simple series circuit, and solve...

Compare the drift speed of conduction electrons in a current-carrying wire to the signal speed of changes in current. They also distinguish between DC and AC and describe how AC is converted to DC.

Students examine the uses of batteries and bulbs and explain the differences between series and parallel circuits.  In this circuits lesson plan students complete a lab activity.

Learners explore the fundamental concepts of electricity. They examine different circuit diagrams to study how electricity flows. They finish by creating their own simple circuit.

Students draw series and parallel electrical circuits. For this electromagnet lesson, students describe how current changes depend on circuit components. Students use an OHT of a series and parallel circuit to predict the path...

Fifth graders build and experiment with electric circuits using easily available materials. They hypothesize what may happen if a part is changed.

Middle schoolers investigate the concept of electricity and how to build a circuit. They identify the presence of heat, light, sound, and the magnetic effects. Students construct the circuit and draw a diagram that gives directions for...

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...
