Open or Closed Circuit?
In this 8 problem activity, students draw the flow of electrons on each circuit diagram. They record the number of parts of each circuit. Then, they determine if the circuit is closed or open and write an explanation. Finally, they analyze if the light bulbs are in a parallel circuit or series circuit. Answer key is provided.
This is a great partner activity and promotes student discussion.
