Flashing Neon Light
How does a neon light work and does it actually contain the gas neon? An enlightening simulation encourages pupils to play with circuits and neon lights. They control the capacitance, resistance, and color of the bulb, and the simulation...
Curated OER
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance
In this resistance worksheet, students solve 10 problems about the changes in resistance as the temperature changes in resistors.
Curated OER
Performance-Based Assessments for Basic Electricity Competencies
In this electricity worksheet, students are assessed given 29 schematics and a competency for each schematic. They find either the conditions found in each schematic, the parameters of the schematic or give an analysis of the schematic...
Curated OER
Function Junction
Students identify the internal and external components of computers, robots and fan. In this physics lesson, students draw a circuit diagram of their electronic components. They create a battery tester in the lab.
Curated OER
Understanding Pi.
Students study the relationship between circumference and diameter to come up with Pi. "In this pi lesson, students measure, record and find the ratio "circumference/diameter" and their average which is an approximation of pi.
Curated OER
Through Other Eyes
Pupils describe the structures of crustaceans and the features that give organisms capabilities that exceed those of humans. In this investigative lesson students replicate some of the features of photo-receptors in a deep-sea...
Curated OER
Ohm's Law
Students explain the meaning of Ohm's Law, and plot a graph of voltage versus current, by explaining how the slope is the resistance of the circuit.
