Investigating Simple Electricity

(Grades 4-8) By connecting a bell with alligator clip leads and batteries into a different arrangement, students will understand the parallel circuit and series circuit. Which circuit will provide more energy to ring the bell and why? A switch is included to test each circuit. The bell is designed to show the internal operations of the bell for added learning of magnetic coils in action. Guide included.
