Objective: To explore series circuits in order to see how circuits transfer electricity

Energy Note: How do circuits differ from each other??

Drill: 1. Get a new lab from the SET. 2. Form teams and get your team tag. 3. Each group needs a materials tote and

BOTH circuit boards. 4. Compare your homework diagrams. 5. Wait quietly for directions.

Activity 2: Exploration

1. Close the switch again. 2. Observe the brightness of the

lamps.3. Open the switch. 4. Record your observations.

Compare to the previous circuit.


oneEEM-8C

1. Close the switch and remove one of the lamps from its base.

2. Record your observations.

Why do you think this occurred?


oneEEM-8C

1. Identify the type of circuit you have constructed.

2. Justify your response with information from the lesson and your observations.

Parallel Circuita. Each bulb is on a different branch.b. When one bulb goes off the rest stay on.

Close the switch.

Connect a wire from connection B to connection D.

What happens? Why do you think this occurs?
