Mechanisms Using Electricity
In this unit we are applying what we have learned in Electricity and Magnetism and using it to build moving machines!

Burglar Alarms!!!
Demonstrated different ways of lighting two lights from a single power source, and compared the results.
Students will recognize that wiring two bulbs in series makes both bulbs glow less brightly than if the bulbs are wired in parallel.
Demonstrated different ways of using two batteries to light a bulb, and compared the results.
Students will recognize that wiring the batteries in series causes the bulbs to glow less brightly than it would if parallel wiring were used.
