All About Electricity pHET Circuit Construction Lesson
In this lesson, students will learn what voltage, resistance, and current are, how they are measured, and how they relate to each other. For accelerated classes, you may even introduce “Ohm’s Law,” which allows students to calculate the current given voltage and resistance. First, a brief reading will introduce them to the concepts and vocabulary. Then, they will use an interactive computer simulation to build a circuit, adjust its parameters, and analyze the results.

PHET - Circuit Construction, Diagrams, and Ohm's Law
This PHET interactive is great if you can't make the circuits in class. In a non-Covid year we would have built circuits and then used them to determine the resistance of the circuit. This interactive allows you to build a circuit, switch to the actual schematics, allows you to determine what is an insulator or a conductor, and it allows you to find resistance. The worksheet I created tries to do all the above without over doing it. The first part is designed for the students to understand a
