Electric Charge
Electric Force Lab - The fundamental science behind most the electrical devices we use daily. This lab teaches the variables that affect electric force, how charge is transferred, and electric force had generate movement. (You will need a balloon and an empty soda can)
Electric Force & Charge Notes - A summary of the concepts and ideas learned in the previous lab. Circuits Basics Notes - The basic terminology of an electrical circuit. Resistance in Wires Lab - There are 4* Variables that affect the resistance of wires. Through this lab you are exposed to the primary 3. Measuring Electricity - Through this lab, students gain insight to how Voltage, Current, and Resistance behave when electrical components are connected in Series and Parallel. Series vs. Parallel Notes Ohm's Law Lab - Students will gather the current that results from applying various voltages to known resistors. The resulting data is graphed and Ohm's Law is discovered.

Simulators
Static Charge Simulator - Basic concept of charging by friction and induction
Electric Field Hockey - Manipulating the electric force via careful charge placement. Ohm's Law Simulator - A visual representation of Ohm's Law in action. Resistance in a Wire Simulator - A look at the factors that affect resistance in wires ( One variable that is NOT present in this simulator is temperature) DC Circuit Simulator - Create simple D.C. Circuits and measure various components voltage, resistance, and amperage. |
