Little Red Riding Hood: An Analogy to Teach Simple Electric Circuits.

In this study, an analogy has been developed to teach students electric circuits in a more concrete way. A connection between the elements of electric circuits and the characters in the Little Red Riding Hood story has been established to teach how simple electric circuits work. In addition to the similarities in the story, we have indicated where the analogy between the analogue concept (Little Red Riding Hood) and the target concept (simple electric circuits) breaks down, and suggested several ways to address any misconceptions that might arise during the implementation.
