 Guide Questions:

For Series Circuits:

1. In a series circuit, how are the components (e.g., bulbs) connected to each other?
2. What happens to the voltage in a series circuit as it passes through each component?
3. If one bulb in a series circuit stops working, what do you think will happen to the
other bulbs?

For Parallel Circuits:

1. In a parallel circuit, how are the components (e.g., bulbs) connected to each other?
2. What happens to the voltage in a parallel circuit as it branches out to different
components?
3. If one bulb in a parallel circuit stops working, what do you think will happen to the
other bulbs?

(Leads to Formative detailed.
Assessment)
 Series Advantages: Voltage is divided equally among devices, ensuring that all
devices receive the same voltage.

 Series Disadvantages: If one device fails (e.g., a bulb burns out), the entire
circuit is disrupted, and all devices stop working.

 Parallel Advantages: Each device has its own separate pathway for electricity,
so if one device fails, it doesn't affect the others.

 Parallel Disadvantages: Requires more wiring and can be more complex to set
up.

G. Finding practical ELABORATE

applications of 1. The teacher:
concepts and skills a. Divide the class into small groups and provide them with scenarios related to home
in daily living electrical circuits (e.g., wiring lights in a room). Each group should analyse the scenario
and decide whether a series or parallel connection is more suitable. They should explain
their reasoning.

Scenario 1: Bedroom Lighting

Scenario: Imagine you are an electrician tasked with wiring the lights in a bedroom. The
bedroom has three light fixtures (bulbs). Your goal is to determine whether to connect
them in series or parallel. Consider factors like safety, convenience, and the impact of
one bulb failing on the others.

Group Task: Decide whether to connect the three light fixtures in series or parallel.
Explain your reasoning based on the factors mentioned.
 Presentation: Each group presents their decision and reasoning to the class, discussing
the advantages and disadvantages of their chosen connection.

Scenario 2: Kitchen Appliance Circuit

Scenario: You are responsible for setting up the electrical circuit for various kitchen
appliances in a kitchen, including the refrigerator, microwave, and toaster. Determine
whether to connect these appliances in series or parallel to ensure efficient and safe
operation.

Group Task: Decide whether to connect the kitchen appliances in series or parallel.
Justify your decision by considering factors like convenience, energy efficiency, and the
impact of one appliance failing on the others.

Presentation: Each group presents their decision and reasoning to the class, emphasizing
the practical implications of their chosen connection in a kitchen setting.

I. Evaluating EVALUATE
learning 1. Teacher asks the class to summarize the key advantages and disadvantages of series
and parallel connections in home electrical circuits through;

a. What are the main advantages of using a series connection in home electrical circuits,
and what are its key disadvantages?

b. In contrast, what are the primary advantages of employing a parallel connection in

home electrical circuits, and what are its notable disadvantages?

2. The teacher processes the answer of the learners.

J. Additional EXTEND
