    This document outlines an experiment to study basic electrical circuits using a snap circuit kit. Students are instructed to build simple circuits using switches and observe the direction of current flow. They then experiment with adding resistors and observe the effects of increasing resistance. Finally, students test different materials as conductors and identify which can successfully conduct electricity in a circuit. They are asked to draw the circuits and answer questions about their observations. In conclusion, students must summarize in at least 3 sentences what they learned about circuits, current, and the roles of conductors, switches and resistors.

    3 Circuits lab name:

    Objective: To study current and the role(s) of conductors, switches, and resistors through building
    circuits. To be completed in groups of two or less (every student hands in their own write up!).

    Snap circuit kits have project books that will guide you in the building of circuits. Build the projects
    below to answer the questions that follow.

    Simple circuits: Project #1
    1. A) Using the correct symbols, draw the circuit if the switch was on.
    B) Using arrows, draw the direction of current.











    2. Draw the circuit if the switch was off.









    Resistors: Project #7
    3. Draw the circuit if the switch was on. Draw the circuit if the switch was off.










    4. What would you expect if you increase the resistance?



    5. Switch out R1 resistor with R2, then R3. What are your observations? How about if there were no resistors?









    Conductors: Project #9
    6. Draw the circuit using the correct symbols.









    7. Test with other materials. What materials were able to conduct electricity in the circuit?










    Conclusion: Summarize in a least 3 detailed sentences the learning discovery from today’s lab. What did
    you do? What learning did you apply? Use the terminology from class.
