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

- 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:

Let's Build a Parallel Circuit!

Redesign your circuit to look like the picture to your right.

​Build this Circuit

​It should look similar to this.

​Create this parallel circuit!

SEE YOU
TOMORROW!!!
