Curated OER
Resistor and Resistance
Students explore electrical resistance through various experiments. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate resistance using a mathematical formula. They explain how colors identify the resistance value of a resistor.

The Light-House Project
Groups work together to design a lighthouse, from designing and drawing the wiring diagram, to creating prototypes of the switch and circuit, to envisioning and building a scale model along with a blueprint. By including different...

Electric Field Mapping in 3D
Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..
