Circuits
Build electrical circuits using batteries, light bulbs, resistors, fuses, wires, and a switch. An ammeter, a voltmeter and an ohmmeter are available for measuring current, voltage and resistance throughout the circuit. The voltage of the battery and the precision of the meters can be adjusted. Multiple circuits can be built for comparison.

I used this in Algebra class to teach direct and inverse variation. We used the gizmo, not the worksheets.

A very effective activity for grade 9 both applied and academic. Definately more interactive one.

Ontario curriculum grade 6 or grade 9. This is a virtual circuit - great for practice and review when short on supplies

A perfect fit for Alberta grade 9 curriculum. Some of my students' parents even told me they liked playing around with it at home!
