Lesson 11 — Conductors, Insulators and Circuit Design
Physical sciences. Testing materials as conductors or insulators using a globe as an indicator, and comparing series and parallel circuits (in a series loop one break stops everything; in parallel each branch is independent). Includes a slide deck with an animated series-vs-parallel comparison, the Conductor or Insulator? worksheet, and the shared Circuit Symbols reference card.
