Electrical Circuits Delve deep into series & parallel circuits as your students use a variety of resistors, motors & more in this hands-on electricity workshop! Enquire Now ⚡ Physical World: Energy & Electricity Electrical Circuits Hands-On Engineering for Future Electricians & Scientists How do modern electrical systems actually function? This hands-on science workshop allows students to strip back the mystery and learn how electrical circuits really work. Starting with the fundamental concepts of open vs. closed circuits, the session builds complexity through 180 separate circuit layouts that students can explore. This is a highly open-ended experience. Once students grasp the background science, they are free to investigate at their own pace—experimenting with everything from motors and electrical gates to logic and resistors. VERY SAFE: All circuits use simple button-snap components powered by standard AA batteries. Key Investigations: Series vs. Parallel: Compare how current flows through different configurations. Components: Discover the roles of resistors, diodes, and transistors. Output Devices: Play with sirens, bells, buzzers, and spinning motors. Energy Transformation: Observe electricity changing into sound, light, and motion. Problem Solving: Troubleshoot 180 possible circuit combinations. Education-First Leadership Led by Churchill Fellow Ben Newsome, we ensure every circuit incursion is grounded in pedagogical best practice and student-led inquiry.

Woronora River Public School Feedback on: Electrical circuits We would definitely book this again! Science workshop content What Students Experience: The Electronics Lab This workshop transforms theoretical physics into a tangible engineering challenge. Students progress from basic power flow to constructing complex, multi-component systems using professional-grade electronic kits. 1. Path of Resistance We begin by investigating open vs. closed circuits. In small groups, students undertake guided investigations into series and parallel circuits, discovering the “path of least resistance” while learning to read and draw formal circuit diagrams. 2. The Component Challenge Students move through an electrical experiment booklet to master advanced components. They learn to integrate LEDs, diodes, and switches into their builds, controlling DC motors and integrated circuits. 3. Real-World Logic The session concludes with reinforcement of circuit logic and a deep-dive discussion on electrical applications. Students connect their classroom experiments to the global infrastructure and technology they use every day. Which electricity workshop is right for me? We offer several specialised programs.
