Science4 Fun: Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors

For Students 1st - 6th
Electric circuits are used to provide a path to electric current. They commonly use three basic electrical components, which are resistors, capacitors, and insulators. They affect the electric current and changes the behavior of the...

Teach Engineering: From Sunlight to Electric Current

For Teachers 6th - 8th
The lesson plan will first explore the concept of current in electrical circuits. Current will be defined as the flow of electrons. Photovoltaic (PV) cell properties will then be introduced. This will lead to the principle of...
