An investigation into Building Electric Circuits (Inquiry Based) |
Description
|
The main learning goal of this activity is for students to be able to create a circuit in two ways -- first based on their knowledge of voltage, current, and resistance, and then again by following a diagram. However, this activity also has the goal of having students make predictions and observations about circuits. The will return to these predictions and observations a few classes later to derive Ohm's Law and the differences between parallel and series circuits. I have included the notes and lab for Ohm's Law which is used a few days later. |
