Series and Parallel Circuits

It was another fun day building circuits!!  The students made series and parallel circuits.  Every student group was successful in getting their circuits to work properly.  They started out making series circuits and drawing a diagram in their Science Journal.  Check out some of their work:

After making the series circuits, the students got to work on their parallel circuits.

 

The students made all sorts of observations such as what happens when you remove one of the light bulbs, the difference in the brightness of the bulbs, and what a fahnestock clip is.  Tomorrow, we are moving on to conductors and insulators.  Check back to see how that goes.
