Buttons in parallel

The "Buttons in Parallel" activity demonstrates how parallel circuits function by connecting two switches in parallel to an LED. In this setup, pressing either switch completes the circuit, lighting the LED. This activity helps students understand parallel wiring, the role of junction points, and how components behave in a parallel configuration. 

Learning Objective:

To learn the basics of parallel circuits, including how junction points work, wiring differences from series circuits, and the fact that any one switch can complete the circuit.
