Doing Science activities with bare basics

This project, nicknamed SEE-SAW, is meant to provide opportunities for any student in any school to do science. Even for schools in the poor...

Ohm's law 'lab' using previously collected data (if class does NOT have equipment)

Lesson for Ohm's law lab                                                                                                                                 Video demonstration of Ohm's law lab                                                                                                             Computer simulated Ohm's law experiment if there is Internet accessibility

Many schools do not have access to all the equipment needed to build their own simple resistor circuits, or the means of measuring resistance, current, and/or voltage. This lab provides actual data collected by students doing the experiment outlined in the provided video. There is a second option using a computer simulation for those classes that have Internet access - students can do a simulated experiment and collect data to do the analysis set of questions. 

Ohm's law is an essential piece of understanding how the most basic circuits work, and the relationship between the 'Big 3' of all circuits: voltage, resistance, and the resulting electric current.
