"Virtual
Labs: Electricity"
Click
for the Front of the Box
Easy-to-use experiments - supported by 40 reproducible
lab worksheets - help students build a practical knowledge of electricity and
its physical principles. Hands-on virtual experiments provide a safe means for
students to apply electrical concepts to real-world devices while practicing
important scientific process skills.
Special features include reference materials
from the World Book Encyclopedia and Virtual Manipulatives that help students
make the connection between concrete and abstract concepts.
Learning Opportunities
- Basic properties of electricity
- Electrical current, voltage, and resistance
- Series and parallel circuits
- Ammeters, voltmeters, and ohmmeters
- Electricity concepts applied to real-life devices
- Critical thinking, problem solving, and experimentation
-
Accurate, Easy-to-Use Simulations
"Hands-on" experiments developed by science and education experts allow
students to investigate electricity-from conductors, insulators, resistors,
capacitors, and thermal switches to circuits in doorbells.
- Scientific Skills Development
Students practice valuable thinking skills-observation, prediction, deductive
reasoning, conceptual modeling, theory building, and hypothesis testing-as
they solve electricity challenges.
- Virtual Manipulatives®
Using Virtual Manipulatives, students can control, modify, and experiment
with electrical systems in a safe and accurate manner to visualize concrete
and abstract concepts.
- Safe, Easy, Cost-Effective
Learning about electricity can be fraught with hazardous situations and broken
parts. Innovative software simulations eliminate risk of fire and electrocution.
And since each experiment is virtual, there are no replacement costs for parts!
- Multimedia Reference Materials
Quick-reference pullouts, an interactive Sci-Clopedia, and over 50 World BookTM
Encyclopedia articles-with animated illustrations and suggestions for further
experiments-provide students with ample material for exploration.
