Electric Circuits: Follow the Flow
Like Duolingo, but for Electric Circuits: Follow the Flow. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
24 levels across 4 sections, about 48 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Making the Connection, The Rules of the Road, Tracking and Troubleshooting, and Power and Protection. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Electric Circuits: Follow the Flow
- Electricity must have a return path to the source to flow
- The source is the origin of the electrical pressure
- A broken or 'open' loop prevents any work from being done
- The load is the component that converts electricity into motion, light, or sound
- The necessity of a complete path for energy transfer
- Distinguishing between the energy provider and the energy consumer
- Metals are conductors that allow electricity to move easily
- Rubber and plastic are insulators that block electricity to keep it on the intended path
- A switch acts as a bridge that can be lifted or lowered
- Selecting materials based on their ability to guide or stop flow
- Electricity cannot jump across air gaps in standard low-voltage circuits
- Circuit tracing follows a specific direction from start to finish
- The flow is modeled as moving from the plus (+) to the minus (-)
- How a switch controls a circuit
- The standard direction for tracing electrical flow
- Voltage acts as the 'pressure' in a wire
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Electric Circuits: Follow the Flow the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
