Resistance Ranking Tasks Concept Builder

The Resistance Ranking Tasks Concept Builder is a tool that challenges the learner to identify the effect that wire length and cross-sectional area have upon wire resistance. There are 36 total questions that are organized into 12 different Question Groups and spread across three different activities: Resistance and Length, Resistance and Area, and Putting It All Together. Each question presents the learner with a graphic depicting three different wires of either varying length, varying cross-sectional area, or both. Learners tap on buttons in order to rank the three wires according to their relative resistance. Question-specific help is provided for each of the 12 Question Groups. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.

Circuits Interactive

This time of year one of the most popular Interactives found at our website is DC Circuit Builder. This HTML5 simulation provides a learner with a virtual circuit builder in order to build and explore circuit concepts. DC Circuit Builder can be used to explore simple, series, parallel, and compound circuits. Building a circuit is as easy as dragging batteries, light bulbs, resistors and wires onto the workspace. A learner can even include voltmeters and ammeters in the circuit for a quantitative exploration. Being an HTML5 simulation, it is compatible with tablets such as the iPad, with Chromebooks, and with all mobile devices. Learners can open the simulation and begin exploring quite easily. Or for a more directed experience, a learner or a classroom of learners can use any one or all of the five classroom-ready exercises that has been prepared by The Physics Classroom. Enjoy the DC Circuit Builder at …

Voltage-Current-Resistance Concept Builder

The Ohm's Law Concept Builder is a tool that allows the learner to predict the effect of varying voltage and varying resistance upon the current in a circuit. There are 12 different situations to analyze and three ability levels. Each situation requires that the learner use proportional reasoning and the I = ∆V/R equation in order to determine the current that results when the voltage and/or the resistance of a circuit is altered. Question-specific help is provided for each of the 12 situations. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.

Light Bulb Anatomy Concept Builder

In the Light Bulb Anatomy Concept Builder, learners explore the manner in which a light bulb is wired and how to configure the bulbs within a circuit in order to produce an intended result. There are 48 total questions that are organized into 18 different Question Groups and spread across three Activities. The three activities include Which Bulb Will Light?, Pathways, and Wire It Up. Activity 1 - Which Bulb Will Light? challenges learners to identify which configurations of a cell, a bulb and a wire will result in a lit bulb. In Activity 2 - Pathways, learners inspect the arrangement of two bulbs and two wires and determine the path of charge through the bulbs and wires and identify which of the two bulbs (if any) will light. And in Activity 3 - Wire It Up, learners make decisions about where to attach a connecting wire in order to get a specified bulb or set of bulbs to light. Question-specific help is provided for each of the 18 situations. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.
