PhET Simulation Online Lab: Electric Circuits, Resistors in Series & Parallel
Using this electric circuits PhET guided inquiry lab your students will gain an in depth understanding of the difference between resistors in series circuits and resistors in parallel circuits. I have done these activities with my students many times and they always find them fun and engaging. The best part is that your students won't even know they are learning as they complete the included inquiry-based laboratory assignment sheet. The PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC simulation can be found
