As requested by Jemima and Jas Kitchen:

Voltage is defined as a difference in the electrical potential energies between two places.

Current is defined as the flow or movement of charged particles (usually electrons).

Voltage is measured in Volts (Joules per Coulomb)

Current is measured in Amperes, Amps or Coulombs per second

Team hands-on job one

Using either a power pack or an outlet plus two lamps and a switch, make a series circuit with all components in it.

Team hands-on job two

Using either a power pack or an outlet plus lamps, wires and a switch, make a parallel circuit with two branches. In one branch have a switch and a lamp. In the other branch, have two lamps in series.
