Series and Parallel Circuits

Students had the opportunity to investigate the path of electricity in a series and parallel circuit.  

After building both circuits, they recorded their predictions and observations about what would happen if one of the light bulbs was removed.


As a class, we made an inference about what would happen to the brightness of the bulb if additional bulbs were added to the series circuit.
