“Little scientists study series and parallel circuits”

In the past two weeks the 106 6th grade students from Secondary School “Ioan Vlăduţiu” Luduş, Mureş County, Romania, have learned about the differences between parallel and serial circuits design and functions with the “Electrical Circuit Lab” from Go-Lab / Next-Lab platform.

Organised in teams, they performed inquiry tasks such as identifying variables, making predictions, conducting experiments and drawing evidence-based conclusions.

The students have created a final report of their work using the Report Tool, in which they included the content of other tools, such as concept maps, hypotheses, and observations. All the reports have been saved in .pdf format and uploaded to the Inquiry Learning Space. The lessons have been integrated into the school curriculum.
