between what's science and what's magic. This project may be repeated in order
to complete all the activities.
528 Investigating Electricity
Put on your detective cap and try your hand at decoding circuit diagrams.
Investigate the difference between series and parallel circuits as you build
your own switches and learn to solder strong connections.
529 Wired for Power
Power up your knowledge on electrical energy used around the home.
Test for grounding, trace the circuitry and calculate circuit load
on the electrical outlets in your home.
