Gather these materials

In our last lesson we built a series circuit & modeled it.

NOTEBOOK
PAGE 34

Has one or more circles in the set up
One load can go off and others stay on
All have same strength - same amount of energy passing through all loads

Parallel Circuits

Advantages:
- parallel if one light dies the rest do not go out
- equal amount of light being given off

Disadvantage:
- if one light goes out in a series, they all go out
EX: Christmas lights

Let's Compare:
