The "Buttons in Series" activity demonstrates the concept of series connections by using two switches connected in series within a simple circuit. Students learn that in a series connection, both switches need to be on for the circuit to work. This setup introduces the basics of series wiring, the required number of wires, and how components behave in a series configuration.
Learning Objective:
To understand how series circuits function, including wiring requirements and the behavior of components connected in series, specifically that all switches must be closed for the circuit to operate.
