Students calculate the resistance across a bank of resistors in a series, parallel and combined circuit. Using new vocabulary words, they define and describe them in a scientific manner. After stating Ohm's Law, they solve electrical...

Students are introduced to the topics of electric currents and resistance. In groups, they distinguish the difference between conventional and electron flows and state Ohm's Law for electrical components. They calculate the resistance of...

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

Students are introduced to the topic of electromagnetic induction. In groups, they describe ways in which the magnetic flux can change and discuss emf and current. They use different scientists laws and apply it to various scenerios in a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn about the economic importance of calculating energy consumption, and are introduced to the equations used for measuring the electricity in an electric...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson examines how moving electric charges are affected when inside a magnetic field. Students are shown how to calculate the force on a single moving electric...

In this unit students take a deeper look into charges beyond the simplified 'opposites attract." Students learn to calculate those attractive and repulsive forces and to show how invisible fields are responsible for them.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will discover how an electrical potential is generated in an electrochemical cell, and then they will calculate the standard cell potentials from a table of...

This lesson will explain how to calculate voltage, current, and resistance in simple electric circuits. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Electric Circuits."

By the end of this section, you will be able to state the expressions of the second law of thermodynamics; calculate the efficiency and carbon dioxide emission of a coal-fired electricity plant, using second law characteristics; and...
