Section outline

  • Kia ora Year 9s,
    By now, you should know the basics of circuitry and how to draw them.


    Success Criteria:

    Build circuits in series and parallel using PHET simulations
    Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits, especially the contrasting nature of current, voltage, and resistance
    Measure and calculate current and voltage in series and parallel circuits 

    Activities:

              Task 1 : SCIPAD instructions

      1. Go to scipadonline.co.nz and log in (you should have created an account last week- if not, do it now! See announcement on GC to instructions)
      2. Choose BOOK 2 --> LESSONS --> Electricity and Magnetism --> LESSON 1-16 (don't worry, they're really short!)
      3. You can also have a play around with CONTENT- there's heaps of cool games in there!
