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!.
