EQ: What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?
Group 1 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 2 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 3 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 4 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 5 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 6 stand up & read the EQ aloud. Group 7 stand up & read the EQ aloud. What are the 4 most important words? Tell your group the 4 most important words. Write the 4 most important words on your board. What will you know at the end of class?

Lesson Importance: Why?
Why do you need to know the difference between a series & parallel circuit? Think…..not b/c it’s on the test Think…..not b/c it’s on exams or PASS Think…not b/c you want to make a good grade Tell your group your answer. Write your answer on your board & show me.

Parts of a simple circuit:
Wire (carries flow of electricity) Switch (completes the circuit/turns it off and on) Power source (pushes electric current around circuit) Light bulb (transforms electrical energy to light energy)
9
What are the 4 main parts of a circuit
What are the 4 main parts of a circuit? Write your answers on your board & flip your board. Wire, switch, power source, bulb
10
Draw a series circuit in your notes.
One pathway If one bulb goes out, they all go out. Draw a series circuit in your notes.
11
I will pull sticks to answer….
In a series circuit, you have 1 pathway. Yes or No? In a series circuit, if one bulb goes out, they all go out. Yes or No?
12
Draw a parallel circuit in your notes.
More than one pathway If one bulb goes out, the others stay lit. Draw a parallel circuit in your notes.
13
