Lesson 12 - DC Circuits PHET Simulation 1

Introduction

Let’s learn more about current electricity by using an interactive simulation from PHET.  In this simulation, you’ll build a basic circuit and test what happens when you add voltage, lightbulbs, and switches to a circuit.

Interactive

In your Science Journal:

    1. Complete the instructions on the slide below.
    2. Make sure to record your answers from the questions and your observations from the presentation into your science journal!.

 

Module 8 - Lesson 12.png Explore the simulation below 1. Build a circuit to turn on a light bulb. 2. In your journal, predict what will happen to the brightness of a light bulb when the voltage is changed.
