Teach Engineering: Bulbs & Batteries Side by Side

For Teachers 3rd - 5th
We are surrounded everyday by circuits that utilize "in parallel" and "in series" circuitry. Complicated circuits designed by engineers are made of many simpler parallel and series circuits. In this hands-on activity, students build...

Teach Engineering: One Path

For Teachers 3rd - 5th
Students learn that charge movement through a circuit depends on the resistance and arrangement of the circuit components. In a hands-on activity, students build and investigate the characteristics of series circuits. In another...
