Circuit activity 2 Series and Parallel Circuits using only CCK (Inquiry Based) A gold star indicates high-quality, inquiry-based activities that follow the PhET design guidelines.



Title Circuit activity 2 Series and Parallel Circuits using only CCK (Inquiry Based)
Description The students will use the simulation to learn the goals through an inquiry approach. This is the second of a series of three labs. Learning Goals: Students will be able to: Discuss basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits & Build circuits from schematic drawings & Use voltmeters and ammeters to take readings in circuits & Provide reasoning to explain the measurements in circuits.
