Circuit Explorers: Hands-On Electricity Lab for Series & Parallel Circuits
Turn your classroom into an electronics lab with "Circuit Explorers!" This guided presentation helps students master Series and Parallel circuits through hands-on inquiry and real-world examples. Are your students struggling to visualize how electricity flows? Textbook diagrams can be dry and confusing. Students often memorize definitions for "Series" and "Parallel" without truly understanding why one bulb going out breaks a chain, or why parallel circuits burn brighter. You need a resource that

STEM PROJECT: Dollhouse Circuits
This project covers series and parallel circuits conceptually, and hands-on. I suggest completing this with a paper circuits kit, if it's available, but one could get this done with LEDs, conductive tape (or foil and tape), and batteries. Students will use shoe boxes and cardboard, tape, hot glue, etc to make a dollhouse. Then, they become electricians, inputting a series and parallel circuit in it! I suggest using 3-5 days for this. Students have lots of fun making their houses, and then they e

Resistivity: How thick is a pencil line on paper?
When you don't find many examples online of other people's results- you've got an interesting experiment going! I didn't come up with the basic idea behind this experiment (that pencil lines on paper are conductive) but estimating how thick those lines are by the means described in this document is entirely my own work. This is a fairly advanced experiment for students who have been exposed to the resistivity equation. It's structured in a step-by-step manner, starting with determining the r

My take on an extremely important experiment in which students will distinguish between the only two possible kinds of motion: acellerated and constant velocity. All your students need to complete this classic experiment is a ramp, a ball, and a timing device- but if that sounds simple, don't worry, my version has them drawing tangent lines to position vs. time graphs!
