The Series Circuit After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Define a series circuit, and list the components needed to make it. Construct a simple and complex series circuit. Define what a load is. Try building this simple series circuit In the interactive box (applet) below, you will need to place the correct circuit components (i.e. battery, light bulb, etc.) on the correct diagram symbol by dragging them with your mouse. Congratulations! What you have just created is something called a series circuit. Load defined The light bulb is considered a load in this circuit. Try building a series circuit with resistors Let’s build another series circuit, but this time we will use some resistors instead of a light bulb. Congratulations! Review When all the components are in line with each other and the wires, a series circuit is formed.
ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development. Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.
Homework Help: Science for Kids Science is the study of the world around us. Scientists learn about their subject by observing, describing, and experimenting. There are many subjects and branches of science. Some study outer space like astronomy. Other sciences study life (biology) or the earth (geology) or even matter and energy (physics). Much of the science we know today was discovered using the Scientific Method. Be sure to check out our new dedicated sections on biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science.
