Description
The Circuit Challenges Activity is a printable version of the extension from the Currents & Circuits 2 Google Form virtual lab lesson. This fun activity has .. "potential" -- so I plan to add to it in the future. Until then, enjoy this simple digital/printable handout enrichment activity using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC simulation where students can complete circuit challenges. Choose either a checklist or numbered format.
*This resource is NOT a lesson in itself, it is meant to be a FUN enrichment activity for early finishers using the PhET circuit builder simulation. Please see preview of the handout to view the nature of the questions.

A series of 2 consecutive virtual lab lessons with a self-grading google form and supplementary lab guides, vocabulary notes, and interactive handouts. Everything is needed for input with notes, investigation, assessment, and an extension. By the end, students will be able to identify factors that affect the strength of the electric current. Choose a couple of resources or bundle them!
Currents & Circuits 1 - Intro Lesson & Virtual Lab
"What are electric currents and how do circuits differ?"
Input - Notes - Investigate
- Currents & Circuits 1 - Guided/Non-Guided Vocabulary Notes (Notes only)
- Currents & Circuits 1 - Google Form Lesson (Google Form only)
- Currents & Circuits 1 - DUO BUNDLE (both Google Form & notes together)
Currents & Circuits 2 Lesson - Investigate 4 Variables & Construct Explanations
"What affects the strength of electric current?" (NGSS PS2-3)
Investigate - Analyze - Assess - Extension
- Currents & Circuits 2 - PhET Lab Interactive Lab Guide (Complete Lab Guide)
- Currents & Circuits 2 - Google Form Lesson (includes a shortened version of lab guide specifically for the Google form - still optional to use.)

Reviews
Hi William, I'm sorry this wasn't what you expected. This particular resource is the printable extension activity for early finishers to the Currents & Circuits 2 lesson, not a lesson in itself. If you are seeking a lesson which covers circuit types, you would want the Currents & Circuit 1 lesson and lab. The description shows the lesson sequence for learning and you can see examples of the questions in the preview and description. I have taken your feedback for consideration and will update the description so this doesn't happen again. Thank you and take care.
