- Click "Run Now" when the page opens to start this simulation.
- Try to build series and parallel circuits and compare their properties.
- What happens when you add more bulbs in series circuits? What about in parallel circuits? What if you remove a bulb from a series or parallel circuit? Do all the lights go out or does nothing happen?
- Grab some objects from the "Grab Bag" and test wheter they are conductors or insulators.
- Mark's Web Circuits - http://mark.madscientist.ws/cgi-bin/circuits.cgi
- Explore and construct different circuits for fun.
- You can read the "brief instructions" by clicking the link on the top left to get some suggestions of things to try.
- You may also select "open" to view some pre-constructed circuits. There is one for series and parallel circuits and also one that shows just how complex the wiring is on a "3-way" switch that many of you have in your houses.Energy
