PhET Circuit Construction Kit:DC (HTLML5) Magnetic Classification - 'STICK TO IT' Small groups of students will perform Electricity and Circuits simulations using PhET programming. These simulations will show the properties of circuits, requirements to complete a circuit, building a Series and Parallel Circuit, observing the differences between the different circuits and learn more about conductors and insulators. The students are required to complete each step in the simulation and properly use the Science terms in their written answers to demonstrate mastery.
