The physics department at the University of Colorado has created a whole bunch of excellent virtual labs. (Take a peek around if you have some time, it's very cool, and there are some pretty advanced ideas that you can explore.)
Click here, or follow the link below to find the circuit lab that we used in class. Once you are at the website, you should click the green button that says "Run Now". It will open the program on your computer, but it may prompt you to allow Java to run. You must say yes for the program to run.

Once you are playing, you can see what combinations of parts create a working circuit, and what parts do not work (or even destroy the circuit!)
Feel free to post screenshots of any fun circuits you make (or destroy!) on Edmodo for everyone to see!
Have a great, safe weekend!
