How Do Circuits Work? Learn to Build Circuits With Online Simulation
In this this one time STEM class, students will learn to construct basic circuits using an online simulation, including series and parallel circuits. This will provide a good introduction to the physics of circuits. No kits needed.

In this class, we will be constructing circuits using an online simulation. No prior knowledge about circuits is needed. Students will learn to construct their own circuits and learn the "rules" for a circuit to work. First, we will construct a basic circuit using a battery, wires, and a bulb. No equipment will be needed, as everything will be done on an online simulation. In the second part of class, students will learn to construct a series and a parallel circuit. This course is very interactive. At each step, I will demonstrate, then give students time to construct their circuit and/or ask questions. *If the section times don't work for you, please feel free to request another time.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to construct a basic circuit on an online simulation. Students will learn the "requirements" for a circuit to work. Students will learn how to construct a series and parallel circuit on an online simulation.
