Class Experience

What is a series circuit ?  What is voltage? Where does power come from and how is power used in a circuit.  Learners will learn about how electrons travel across the electron highway through a series circuit.  This is a basic electrical circuits class which will serve as a building block for more complex troubleshooting or circuitry courses in the future.

In this exciting course we will learn through a series (pun intended) of slide shows, videos and practical demonstrations from the instructor who is a certified Journeyman Electrician and has served in the US Navy as an electrician for 16 years.  I will demonstrate my love and passion for my trade through this course and hopefully will 'spark' an interest in electrical circuits with your young learner!

Learning Goals

The goal is to enhance your learner's understanding of this STEM subject and demonstrate this topic using several different teaching methods to appeal to your learners specific learning style (verbal, hands on, etc.)  There will be videos, slides, and practical demonstration of this topic by use oif an online lab.  We will explore the lab together by assembling circuits, adding switches and exploring the electrical possibilities of series circuits.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
No parental guidance is required during the course however, safety is paramount and safety will be reiterated at the beginning and end of the course. Students will be asked to not experiment on their own with electricity without the supervision of their parent.
Supply List
The only supplies required are a smile and an open mind ready to learn! The lab that we explore allows me to duplicate to your child's screen.  They will not be required to access any external websites and no printed material is required 

Once your student is enrolled you will have access to a PowerPoint and a .PDF of additional materials that you can use with your child to enhance their understanding of this subject. This course will also be recorded and you'll have access to review the recording as many times as you need! Thanks for joining my classroom

External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a reminder:  I'm a qualified Journeyman electrician with almost two decades of experience in this area.  Nothing that I demonstrate in the class should be replicated in any way in the home during class or after class.  The lab is an online simulator but I will also do some show and tell at the beginning of the course with batteries and light bulbs.
