Circuit Construction Kit (DC Only)

Topics

• Circuits
• Light Bulbs
• Batteries
• Switches
• Ammeter
• Voltmeter

Description

An electronics kit in your computer! Build circuits with resistors, light bulbs, batteries, and switches. Take measurements with the realistic ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a life-like view.

Sample Learning Goals

• Discuss basic electricity relationships.
• Build circuits from schematic drawings.
• Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits.
• Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits.
• Discuss basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits.
• Provide reasoning to explain the measurements in circuits.
• Determine the resistance of common objects in the "Grab Bag."
