A challenging circuit inquiry activity. Students need to draw a simple circuit based on 7 clues. I.e., If light bulb 1 is unscrewed, bulb 2, 3 and 4 stay on, etc.

Includes an answer key. Great addition to any electricity unit as it can be used to teach circuit diagrams as well as a review at the end of a unit. Can be used in any grade level that teaches electricity.

✅ Circuit inquiry puzzle: use 7 clues to sketch a correct series/parallel circuit and predict bulb behavior.

✅ Flexible classroom use: teach circuit diagrams, logic, and review; perfect as a warm-up or end-of-unit check.

✅ Print-and-go: student page + full answer key for quick grading.

As a special bonus, when you download this freebie, you'll get a paid electricity bonus resource for free. Get it now while it's available because it's a good one that your students will love!
