            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. |
