Electrical Circuits Delve deep into series & parallel circuits as your students use a variety of resistors, motors & more in this hands-on electricity workshop! Enquire Now A hands-on workshop where students learn how electrical circuits really work. Learn about series vs. parallel circuits. Learn about different types of resistors & diodes Apply Ohm’s Law and take advantage of the path of least resistance. Play with sirens, bells and buzzers. Get motors to spin, electrical gates to work, understand circuit diagrams and much more! The session begins simply to introduce the basics of open vs. closed circuits and then slowly introduces that various circuits that can be made. This is highly open-ended: there are 180 separate circuits layouts that can be made and so once the students have a firm understanding of the content and background science they can then explore at their own pace.
