VAST Science Units
Electric Circuits


 
Through the activities in Electric Circuits, students answer many of their own questions about the properties and uses of electricity, Lessons are organized into three major sections: First, students focus on the basic properties of electricity; second, they investigate how various materials are affected by electricity, and they identify conductors and insulators. third, they go on to explore series and parallel circuits, switches, and diodes. The unit culminates with student teams designing, building, and wiring a cardboard box house.
