Circuits 3 Day Unit |
|
Description
|
This unit includes 3 lessons, intended to be taught in three separate sessions of about 45 - 60 minutes each. In the first activity, students explore circuits and develop an understanding of a circuit's components. On the second day, students discover 2 different types of circuits - parallel and series and must think critically to determine which is more effective in a given situation. The 3rd lesson focuses on conductors and insulators. Lessons are designed to be inquiry-based and student-centered, with the sim, activity sheets, and class discussion supporting students in developing an understanding of electric circuits. |
