Continue the Young Physicists – Electricity Series with Book 6: Parallel Circuits. Designed for learners aged 11–12, this printable A4 physics workbook introduces parallel circuits through clear explanations, colourful illustrations, interactive activities, STEM investigations, and a knowledge quiz. Pupils discover how electricity flows through multiple paths, compare parallel and series circuits, and investigate why electrical devices in homes use parallel circuits.

This engaging workbook helps students develop a deeper understanding of electrical circuits by exploring the structure of parallel circuits, investigating how electric current travels through different branches, predicting what happens when one bulb is removed, and discovering real-world applications of parallel circuits. Practical STEM activities encourage scientific enquiry, observation, critical thinking, and problem-solving while making electricity engaging and easy to understand.
