Although this was aimed at younger children, and it quite old, I found it very interesting to read, and got ideas to dispel misconceptions, and use analogies

Circuit diagrams are used to represent electrical circuits. Using standard symbols shows the various electrical components. Components can be connected in series or in parallel. The characteristics of the current [ current: Moving electric charges, for example, electrons moving through a metal wire. ] and potential difference (voltage) are different in series and parallel circuits.

You should know the difference between series and parallel connections in circuits.

Series connections

Components that are connected one after another on the same loop of the circuit are connected in series. The current [ current: Moving electric charges, for example, electrons moving through a metal wire. ] that flows across each component connected in series is the same.

Two lamps connected in series

Parallel connections

Components that are connected on separate loops are connected in parallel. The current is shared between each component connected in parallel. The total amount of current flowing into the junction, or split, is equal to the total current flowing out. The current is described as being conserved.

Two lamps connected in parallel

Which of the circuits below are connected in series, and which are connected in parallel? Move your mouse over each circuit to check your answers.

Communicating: Students will have to communicate effectively their ideas onto a circuit diagram, and then communicate with each other when building their circuits.
Working With Others: Students will be doing lots of group work, including making circuits, jigsaw activities, and pair work. Students will improve these vital skills over the 4 week period.
Being Creative: Students will most likely make circuits that do not work. Creative solutions must be made to problems.
Managing Information and thinking: Students will need to good managing information and thinking skills, especially when looking at Ohm's Law, and graph-drawing.
Numeracy: As students will being finding the slope of the line of Ohm's Law, important numeracy skills will be developed.
Literacy: Students will come across many new words such as proportional, potential difference, resistance, ohmmeter. These new words will be challenging for some students.

Learning to Learn: Students will be looking at physics. Many students really dislike physics, I hope to change that, and help students learn to learn physics.
Inclusive Education: With group work, I will try my best to have groups that are as heterogeneous as possible, ensuring all students are involved at all times.
Engagement and Participation: Students will engage with hands on practical work. I would like to see all students in all groups engaged, challenged, and participating.
