Circuit Simulator
Published 16/11/22, by Joshua CialisToday in Topic, the children were thinking about complete and incomplete circuits. We used the intro section of The Circuit Construction simulation Kit on the PHET (University of Colarado) website. A lot of the children asked me if I could share the link so that they could practise at home: Circuit Construction Kit: DC (colorado.edu)
Use the intro part of the simulator to build working circuits. The simulator is really useful as it allows the children to safely experiment with electrical circuits without breaking equipment or themselves. This is a reminder that they should not play or experiment with real electricals at home!!
Hope you have fun!
