The result: not only do secondary school students gain a better conceptual understanding of electric circuits, but teachers also perceive the curriculum as a significant improvement in their teaching.

Simple electrical circuits are super cool, but simple series and parallel circuits are just the foundation of the much, much more complex circuits used in modern electronics.

Research into physics education has revealed that even after the tenth grade many secondary school students are not capable of answering such fundamental questions about simple electric circuits ...
