Teach Engineering: Ohm's Law I

Ideal for your electricity unit, especially with middle schoolers, this lesson plan gets engineers using multimeters in electrical circuits to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Older learners may even plot...

In this Ohm's Law worksheet, students answer 8 questions which include multiple choice, graphs, and short answer. They write the definitions of voltage, potential difference, current, and resistance. They complete a graph about volts,...

This extension to the Ohm's Law I activity, students will observe just how much time it takes to use up the "juice" in a battery, and if it is better to use batteries in series or parallel.

An interactive simulation that teaches about Ohm's Law, circuits, and current by observing how adjusting the voltage and resistance changes current according to Ohm's Law. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...

High schoolers work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. They analyze Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.

This lab demonstrates Ohm's law as students set up simple circuits each composed of a battery, lamp and resistor. Students calculate the current flowing through the circuits they create by solving linear equations. After solving for the...

Students are introduced to several key concepts of electronic circuits. They learn about some of the physics behind circuits, the key components in a circuit and their pervasiveness in our homes and everyday lives. Students learn about...

In this Ohm's Law worksheet, students answer 16 questions about electricity, electric current, voltage and electricity and they mathematically analyze a circuit they design and construct.

Students will explore the basics of dc circuits analyzing the light from light bulbs when connected in series and parallel circuits. Ohm's Law and the equation for power dissipated by a circuit will be the primary equations used. Using...

Students learn how to find the maximum power point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) panel in order to optimize its efficiency at creating solar power. They also learn about real-world applications and technologies that use this technique, as...
