Phase 5
CLOSURE /
ASSESSMENT
( Evaluation )

Enrichment of the topic

(series circuit and a parallel
circuit )

( 15 minutes )

As conclusion, techer posses some

questions. Example of questions are :
a. What are the common compenents in an
electric circuit ?
b. What is the function of batteries ?
c. What is the advantage if we use a
parallel circuit ?
d. Students state the difference of
arrangement of bulbs in series circuit
and a parallel circuit.

Making conclusion.
