Showing 9 experiments that use the Basic Modular Circuits Kit.
Blockly Extension: Making a Battery Tester
Students create a Blockly program that tests a battery using measurements from a voltage sensor and...
Capacitors and RC Circuits
Students construct a circuit that charges and discharges a large capacitor through a light bulb. They create a model for their observations and test the...
DC Circuits
Students construct a circuit consisting of two resistors in series and then in parallel. They measure the voltage across the resistors, and the current...
Ohm's Law
Students measure the current and voltage across a resistor while varying the output voltage, A graph of voltage versus current will reveal Ohm's Law. This...
Electricity and Circuits
How do you build a circuit? The Modular Circuits kit provides an easy and quick way to prototype and design electronic circuits. This investigation explores...
Voltage and Batteries
How do you connect batteries to increase their total voltage? When Alessandro Volta invented the first electric battery, he connected several individual...
Resistors and Ohm’s Law
How is resistance measured? Ohm's law I = V/R is the fundamental relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit. Devices that measure...
Series and Parallel Resistances
What are the advantages and disadvantages of series versus parallel circuits? Have you ever had a string of holiday lights where one bulb is burned out,...
Electrical Power
How is power related to energy? What determines the power rating of a device? Electrical devices are commonly rated in units of power, such as a 100-W...
