Students collect and analyze voltage data. In this math lesson, students investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe. They graph their data and analyze it using a table.

Students generate experimental questions regarding conductors of electricity, plug cord into pickle, and measure and graph voltage drop across electrodes. Students then compare to variety of other conductors of their choosing.

For this energy worksheet, students are given a table of the many measurements of energy. They solve 6 problems converting from one measurement of energy to another using the conversion factors given.

In this electric eels worksheet, students read about the special muscle cells called electroplaques found in electric eels. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students investigate Ohm's Law. Through experimentation, students observe Ohm's law. Using the voltage and resistance, students calculate with Ohm's law. Students collaborate in other activities to apply Ohm's Law to series and...

Pupils investigate the concept of voltage and electricity. They differentiate between an insulator and a conductor in the context of using electrical safety with the help of a doll house. Then students pretend the doll lives in a real...

Students, in groups, connect a 10 ohm resistor across their 1.5 volt battery, and take voltage readings every 5 minutes.

Learners examine electricity, what its uses are and how it works.  In this exploring electricity lesson students study voltage, resistance, current and OHM's law. 

Students describe an electrical current and the factors that determine the resistance of an object.  In this electrical current lesson students discuss their knowledge of voltage, current and resistance.
