Circuit Concepts

The Circuit Concepts Tookit provides teachers with high-quality, standards-based resources for designing lesson plans and units that pertain to the topic of electric circuits. Resources include interactive simulations, Tutorial readings, Minds On Physics questioning modules, cross-curricular activities, video files, demonstration ideas, animations, safety considerations, and more. The Toolkit allows a teacher to select from among trusted resources that target specific learning objectives and national standards. The Toolkit is supported by Lesson 1, Lesson 2, and Lesson 3 of the Current Electricity Chapter at The Physics Classroom Tutorial.


Each toolkit can be viewed in three different ways.
