Number of questions: 5 adapted activities, including marking, guided writing (SC/PC), ordering the path of the electric current, true or false, and simple equivalent resistance calculation.
Students with difficulties in reading, interpretation, and abstraction in Physics and Science. Recommended for Middle School (Grades 7–9), High School, Adult Education (EJA), remedial classes, and Special Education (AEE). Also recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), Autism (TEA), ADHD, Dyslexia, Down Syndrome, Apraxia, and learners in early scientific literacy.
Color PDF with large, clear images (light bulbs, batteries, wires, resistors), well-defined paths, simplified acronyms, color-coded answer choices, direct language, and a complete answer key (pp. 9–12).
To help students understand:
• what an electrical circuit is,
• the difference between series and parallel circuits,
• how current flows through each path,
• and how to calculate equivalent resistance in a series circuit.
The material uses iconic images and visual repetition to support comprehension even for students with very limited reading skills.
The student observes two circuits (p. 5) and marks:
• circuit 1 is series
• circuit 2 is parallel
On page 6, the student writes:
• SC for “one path” (Series Circuit)
• PC for “two or more paths” (Parallel Circuit)
with images of holiday lights and larger circuits.
On page 7, the student identifies that energy flows through:
1st green bulb
2nd blue bulb
3rd yellow bulb
Also on page 7, a visual highlight says “Just add them!”, showing:
10 Ω + 10 Ω = 20 Ω
• What happens to total resistance in series? (It increases)
• Calculation with three resistors in series:
20 Ω + 10 Ω + 5 Ω = 35 Ω
✅ Strong visual support: large batteries, colorful bulbs, marked paths, and simple symbols.
✅ Accessible, predictable language with minimal reading.
✅ Alternation between motor tasks (marking, writing SC/PC) and cognitive tasks (comparing, adding).
✅ Excellent for neurodivergent students due to structure, predictability, and visual clarity.
✅ Saves 3 hours and 30 minutes of teacher preparation time (as noted on the cover).
