Question 79
In this activity, you will make models of circuits from cards.
Work in groups.
You will need:
- paper or card, scissors, a pen or pencil
Start by cutting out 10 equal-sized squares of paper or card. The squares should be about 4–5 cm wide.
Draw circuit symbols on each card with wires that go to the end of the card. The cards will need to fit together to make circuits.
You should have:
- three cards with a cell
- three cards with a lamp
- four cards with circuit corners.
The cards should look something like this.
Work on a large sheet of paper, where you can draw extra lengths of wire if needed.
Build a series circuit with three cells and three lamps.
