Series and parallel circuit rules

A lesson designed to allow pupils to establish the rules for themselves. Then apply to some circuits. Works best if the circuits are prebuilt and tested so the results they will collect are definitely correct.

Scientific notation maze

Students can complete the scientific notation problems on a separate piece of paper, whiteboard or in their workbooks. After they complete each question they search for the path that has the correct answer on it. They will then follow that arrow to the next question. They will keep doing this until they reach the finish.
