The accompanying curriculum and teaching ideas are for use in a grade 11 university physics class. These activities can be used during the electricity and magnetism strand. These activities address curriculum expectations related to circuit analysis, in particular, how voltage, current, and resistance differ between series and parallel circuits (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008a). The expectations related to circuit analysis are first covered in the physics strand of the grade nine academic course, (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008b) as such these activities should be a bit of a review for most students and can be run through quickly. The activities were designed to accompany and build on examples presented in the Nelson Physics 11 textbook (DiGuieseppe et al., 2011).
