Welcome to a video demo of the Parallel Circuits activity in the Simple Circuits app.
Instructions for creating circuits are in the colored boxes.
Auto Complete needs at least one load device connected.
We start this demo by moving three devices into position

Now tap on Auto Connect. The app automatically fills in the connecting wires and closes the circuit.
Remove two of the parallel connections. This effectively makes this a series circuit, with only the see-saw connected.
Connect switches in each branch, as well as in the main line.

Experiment with the different ways of controlling the circuit - the inner parallel branch as well as the main line.
Tap on “Help” at any time to see the instructions for creating circuits.
Adjust the voltage of the battery and observe the effects of doing that.
