In their exploration of electrical circuits, Year 9 students engaged in setting up various configurations, experimenting with both series and parallel arrangements. With hands-on activities, they meticulously connected wires, lamps, ammeters and voltmeters, observing how current flows through each setup. Guided by Ohm's law, they analysed voltage, current, and resistance relationships, grasping the fundamental principles of electricity.
Through trial and error, they discovered the unique characteristics of series circuits, where the current remains constant, and parallel circuits, where voltage is shared. These practical experiments not only deepened their understanding of circuitry but also fostered critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for their scientific journey ahead as part of preparation for their IGCSE course.
