SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS - LAB
PROBLEM:
Are there different paths that electricity can take, and still perform
the same function?
HYPOTHESIS:
MATERIALS:
Alligator clips, lamp holders, bulbs, batteries
SERIES
CIRCUIT
Use materials to make a series circuit. Include at least one light bulb
and one switch. Draw your final circuit below. Make sure your teacher
looks at the circuit before you take it apart.
Series Circuit |
PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Using materials to make a parallel circuit. Draw your final circuit
below. Make sure your teacher looks at the circuit before you take it
apart.
Parallel Circuit |
CONCLUSIONS:
(How do parallel and series circuit differ?) |
