Description
A self-paced online lab providing an introduction to circuits for Junior High and High School Physics students in distance learning mode. Links to video lectures by Paul Hewitt (Hewitt Drew It and Conceptual Physics, 11th and 12th editions) and PhysicsHands. Students build circuits in PhET DC Virtual Circuit lab on Day 2 and 3 of this series. The daily lab activities are formatted as Google Forms surveys, which can be entered as Quiz Assignments in Google Classroom if desired. The instructions are self-explanatory and ready-to-go, although you may want to demonstrate how to build a simple circuit in PhET (5 minutes). Each day is designed to be completed at the student's own pace in 30-45 minutes.
Day 1: Ohm's Law and Introduction to Circuits
Day 2: Voltage Drop and Series Circuits
Day 4: Power and VIRP Tables
Day 5 Equivalent Resistance and Circuits (this resource)
