1. Label the picture Word Bank light bulb light bulb switch battery battery light bulb light blub switch 2. Sorting Put the circuit pictures in the right category Series Circuits Parallel Circuits 3. Fill in the blank In a SERIES CIRCUIT the electrons only have one pathway to flow. This causes light bulbs to be dependent on one another to work.In a PARALLEL CIRCUIT the electrons have multiple pathways to flow. This causes light bulbs to be independent of one another.
