- Draw the series circuit using symbols: Connect the battery symbol to the switch symbol, then connect the switch to the first lamp symbol, connect the first lamp to the second lamp symbol, and finally connect the second lamp back to the battery to complete the loop.
- Draw the parallel circuit using symbols: Connect the battery symbol to the switch symbol. From the switch, split the wire into two branches. On one branch, place a lamp symbol. On the other branch, place the second lamp symbol. Join both branches back together and connect them to the battery to complete the circuit.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of electrical circuits worksheet.
