TinkerCAD Circuit Academy #3

Basics of TinkerCAD Circuits

Objectives

  • Understand how to use TinkerCAD Circuits to build and simulate circuits

  • Go over Ohm’s Law and Series and Parallel Circuits

TinkerCAD Basics Tutorial

Lessons discuss in video found here!


Ohm’s Law and Series and Parallel Circuits

Go through the tutorials for Ohm’s Law and Series and Parallel Circuits on TinkerCAD’s website

After completing the tutorials create your own example of a parallel and series circuits that use a light bulb, battery, and wires in TinkerCAD.

Purpose

This is to introduce the basic mechanics of TinkerCAD Circuits and also re-introduce the ideas of Ohm’s Law and Series and Parallel Circuits in a more interactive way!
