Circuit 1 Properties of Electric Circuits (Inquiry Based) A gold star indicates high-quality, inquiry-based activities that follow the PhET design guidelines.





Title Circuit 1 Properties of Electric Circuits (Inquiry Based)
Description The students will use the simulation to learn the goals through an inquiry approach. This lab uses the simulation and lab equipment both.This is the first of a series of three labs. Learning Goals: Students will be able to:Discuss basic electricity relationships & Analyze the differences between real circuits and the simulated ones & Build circuits from schematic drawings & Use a multimeter to take readings in circuits & Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits.
