Description

So easy to use it could be a sub plan:

  • No set-up of materials required
  • 5 Es Structured
  • NGSS focused
  • print ready/ No notebook needed
  • Inquiry driven
  • Self paced w/ optional teacher checkpoints
  • Answer Key Included (So copy paste in a safe space :)

Lab Objectives:

  • A current requires a closed circuit made conductive material, a power source, and resistance to limit current
  • “Electrical potential energy” energy is stored in a battery
  • Current is the movement of electrons
  • Current is directly dependent on current indirectly dependent on resistance
  • Components (lightbulbs) can either be placed in  parallel or series

Covers NGSS Standard: HS-PS2-5
