PhET Sims Virtual Lab Pack: DC Electrical Circuits - Complete Middle School Set

Introducing the ultimate lab guide pack for teaching middle school students about electrical circuits! This complete resource pack is designed to be used with the PhET Sims DC Circuit Construction Virtual Lab and is perfect for science teachers looking to streamline their instruction and make teaching circuits effortless, interactive, and aligned with the PhET sims.

The lab guide pack comes complete with everything you need to teach your students about series and parallel circuits in an engaging and interactive way. The background texts provide a comprehensive understanding of series and parallel circuits, while the three-part investigation guides students through recreating models of series and parallel circuits, testing them, and identifying electrical conductors and insulators.

The self-assessment checklists embedded in the lab guide ensure that students are testing the right models and that they are on the right track. Completed examples of series and parallel circuits are also provided to make it easy for you to check student progress.

The resource pack also includes an article and question set provided at two reading levels to ensure that all students can gain the most from their experiences. Additionally, two posters featuring series and parallel circuits are also included to make teaching even more effective and interactive.

As a bonus, this resource also includes all of the diagrams from the materials in PNG format, so you can use them in your own teacher-created materials. This resource is designed to be no-prep, so you can spend more time teaching and less time preparing.
