Series of labs to introduce circuit design, measuring circuits, and recognizing electrical properties in real life applications
PHET Circuit Construction Kit
Part 1: Building CircuitsFor each challenge, build a working circuit in the PHET Circuit Construction Kit and screenshot Three lightbulbs each lit up with a different brightness Hint: you may need to adjust resistances in the bulbs by clicking on them Three lightbulbs and a switch that turns off one but leaves the others on Design a piece of art that involves the lightbulbs in a clever way. Lightbulbs must light up Art Inspiration from Mr. Cossette's Class :) Part 2: Measuring CircuitsBuild each of the circuits diagrammed below in the PHET circuit builder and use the ammeter and voltmeter to measure the properties in the tables on the right. Part 3: Electrical Scavenger HuntFind three different examples or items around your house that have electrical properties printed on them. (for example, most chargers or appliances have power/voltage/current ratings). Take pictures of these items showing the label and the object itself and include in the table provided Click Here for More LabsClick for more Electricity resources ⬇
