written by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre
This is a set of classroom experiments for high school physics or physical science designed to give students practice in building simple circuits, diagnosing problem circuits, and using voltmeters and ammeters. Each experiment features detailed diagrams and/or photos, plus questions to elicit critical thinking. Additional links provide instructional support in how to introduce current, how to work safely with electrical components, and a history of the field of electricity.  

This item is part of a much larger collection of physics/astronomy experiments, sponsored by the UK's Institute of Physics and funded by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre.
