Students will explore simple, series, and parallel electric circuits using batteries, bulbs, buzzers, switches, and wires. They will experiment to understand how circuits work and the differences between series and parallel circuits. Key characteristics include: in series circuits, if one component fails the entire circuit fails, while in parallel circuits each component's circuit is independent. Students will record their findings and identify patterns in how circuits behave when different components are added or removed.
This document outlines an activity to characterize a solar cell using a simple circuit model. Students will:
1) Determine the solar cell's open circuit voltage, short circuit current, and internal resistance under varying light intensities.
2) Test the circuit model by measuring current and power for different load resistances and comparing to predictions.
3) Conclude that decreasing light intensity lowers current and power output but not voltage, fitting the photoelectric effect model. The internal resistance model approximates but does not perfectly predict performance. Maximum power transfer occurs when the load resistance matches the internal resistance.
This document summarizes a workshop for elementary teachers focused on hands-on learning about electricity concepts. The workshop was funded by a grant and presented by two professors. It included pre- and post-assessments, demonstrations of circuits and electricity topics, hands-on activities with materials like Snap Circuits kits, and discussions on implementing the new strategies and technologies in their own classrooms. The overall goal was to increase teachers' content knowledge of electricity and models of teaching that incorporate investigation, technology, and active learning.
A Problem-Solving Model Of Students Construction Of Energy Models In PhysicsAnn Wera
- ModelCHENE is a problem-solver that models how students construct models of energy (called "energy chains") when solving physics problems. It aims to understand how students form links between a theoretical energy model and experimental situations.
- Students use an interface called CHENE to build energy chains for different experiments based on information provided about reservoirs, transformers, and transfers of energy. Their problem-solving process is analyzed.
- ModelCHENE can model variations in students' problem-solving approaches and solutions. It explains these variations in terms of students' knowledge, their ability to abstract concepts, and which information sources they refer to.

PHY 241 Lab 6- Law of Conservation of Energy
Introduction:
Last week we spent significant effort understanding the forces and
resulting acceleration of the cart in Figure 1 to the right. This week we
want to keep the same experimental setup and focus our attention on the
various Energies within this system. For example, because objects are
moving up and down, there must be Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE.
Also, a spring is involved, so there must be Spring Potential Energy, SPE,
as well. If we add ALL forms of energy involved in the system, we can also
define a Total Energy, TE,
𝑇𝐸 = 𝐺𝑃𝐸 + 𝑆𝑃𝐸 + ⋯ . (1)
The Total Energy is a very useful idea because the Law of Conservation of Energy promises us that the
Total energy will behave in a very specific, simple way. The Law of Conservation of Energy states:
“The total amount of energy in a system is a constant unless energy is transferred through the
system boundary through Work, Heat, Electrical Transmission, etc.”
This single statement gives us a series of concrete goals.
A. Calculate, 𝐺𝑃𝐸 and 𝑆𝑃𝐸 for each time step at which we collected data.
B. Plot each form of Energy over multiple bounces of the cart. Also add 𝑇𝐸 to the graph below.
Does the behavior of the Total Energy agree with the Law of Conservation of energy stated
above?

Concept of Particles and Free Body Diagram
Why FBD diagrams are used during the analysis?
It enables us to check the body for equilibrium.
By considering the FBD, we can clearly define the exact system of forces which we must use in the investigation of any constrained body.
It helps to identify the forces and ensures the correct use of equation of equilibrium.
Note:
Reactions on two contacting bodies are equal and opposite on account of Newton's III Law.
The type of reactions produced depends on the nature of contact between the bodies as well as that of the surfaces.
Sometimes it is necessary to consider internal free bodies such that the contacting surfaces lie within the given body. Such a free body needs to be analyzed when the body is deformable.
Physical Meaning of Equilibrium and its essence in Structural Application
The state of rest (in appropriate inertial frame) of a system particles and/or rigid bodies is called equilibrium.
A particle is said to be in equilibrium if it is in rest. A rigid body is said to be in equilibrium if the constituent particles contained on it are in equilibrium.
The rigid body in equilibrium means the body is stable.
Equilibrium means net force and net moment acting on the body is zero.
Essence in Structural Engineering
To find the unknown parameters such as reaction forces and moments induced by the body.
In Structural Engineering, the major problem is to identify the external reactions, internal forces and stresses on the body which are produced during the loading. For the identification of such parameters, we should assume a body in equilibrium. This assumption provides the necessary equations to determine the unknown parameters.
For the equilibrium body, the number of unknown parameters must be equal to number of available parameters provided by static equilibrium condition.

This document summarizes the research of a postdoctoral researcher studying tutorial dialogue systems. It discusses developing a student model to guide tutorial dialogues according to students' needs. The researcher aims to analyze tutorial dialogues, build a coding scheme to identify levels of support, and integrate the student model into a dialogue system. Challenges include a lack of data per student skill and predicting student knowledge in real-time. Preliminary results applying regression and Bayesian models to existing datasets show Bayesian Knowledge Tracing performs comparably to or better than the regression models with less overfitting. Future work involves implementing the system for real-world use and further refinement.

This document summarizes the research of a postdoctoral researcher studying tutorial dialogue systems. It discusses developing a student model to guide tutorial dialogues according to students' needs. The researcher aims to analyze tutorial dialogues, build a coding scheme to identify levels of support, and integrate the student model into a dialogue system. Challenges include a lack of data per student skill and predicting student knowledge in real-time. Preliminary results applying regression and Bayesian models to existing datasets show Bayesian Knowledge Tracing performs comparably to or better than the regression models with less overfitting. Future work involves implementing the system for real-world use and further refinement.

Definitions of Energy: Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends
on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That
there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total
energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred
from one object to another and between its various possible forms.
(HS-PS3-2)
(HS-PS3-3)
At the macroscopic scale, energy manifests itself in multiple ways, such as in
motion, sound, light, and thermal energy.
(HS-PS3-2) These relationships are better understood at the microscopic scale, at which all
of the different manifestations of energy can be modeled as a combination of
energy associated with the motion of particles and energy associated with the
configuration (relative position of the particles). In some cases the relative
position energy can be thought of as stored in fields (which mediate interactions
between particles). This last concept includes radiation, a phenomenon in which
energy stored in fields moves across space.
Learning Objectives:
The student will be able to successfully
● set up a circuit→ including a simple circuit, series circuits, and parallel circuits
● understand the necessary components of a successful circuit: e.g., a complete loop, a power
source, a device, a switch
Computational Thinking Objectives:
see end of lesson plan
Introduction:
In this lesson, students will learn what circuits are and how they work.
Introduction for the students:
An engineer working on an electrical device must know the basics of circuitry. In this activity,
2. 2
you’ll have an opportunity to mess around with a small assortment of materials.
Materials:
● Alligator leads
● ~3v flashlight bulbs w/sockets
● switches (ex: push button, toggle, knife)
● AA batteries
● Battery holder
● Various types of batteries
● 3v Piezo Buzzers
Most of these materials can be found online at American Science and Surplus (sciplus.com) or All
Electronics (allelectronics.com).
Outline of Lesson:
Notebooks (1 min): Draw a sketch of how you think you can use the available materials to get
the lightbulb to light up.
NOTE: Students can get intimidated by being asked to draw. Give an example of what you
mean by a sketch, and reinforce it by only giving them a minute. This is a good time to
develop expectations as a class for what the notebooks are used for. Build in table talk and
think, pair, shares.
● Place students in groups of no more than 3 students.
● Each table should be equipped with light bulbs, buzzers, switches, and alligator leads.
● Have students play around with the equipment to get the lightbulb to light.
● Have them keep track in their notebooks (and on a class whiteboard, if possible) the variations
they have attempted.
Figure 1:
3. 3
Notebooks (3 min): How can you complicate the circuit? How would you add a switch? What
purpose does it serve? Can you add another bulb and have both light up? What about the
buzzer? What could these more complicated circuits be used for?- Draw first, then share out
Notebooks: (Pick 1)
● Algorithm design
○ Can you write down the steps you took to build your circuit, so that others
can follow your instructions and make something similar?
● Decomposition
○ What are the difficulties you encountered during the process? How did you
solve the problem?
CT in action!
● In computing, loops are a mechanism for running the same sequence multiple times
(Brennan & Resnick, 2012). In circuits, loops allow for the circuit to keep running.
Make sure students notice the importance of the circuit’s “loops”.
Possible Questions/Potential Responses:
Q. Why isn’t my bulb lighting up?
● You may inspire students to discuss about the possible reasons. e.g., (a) You may have a
short circuit. Encourage the development of metaphor (an abstraction, a CT concept). e.g,
Electrons are cars going from point A in the battery to point B in the battery. The wires are
roads. Light bulbs and buzzers are tollbooths. Switches are drawbridges. If a shortcut is
4. 4
presented, cars will take it, bypassing any toll booths. This is a “short circuit”. The cars will want
to take the shortest route possible. If you have a connection that makes the path shorter than
where the bulb is, those “cars” are not going to travel that far. They will take the shortcut. (b)
Part of the circuit may not be complete. (c) The batteries may need to be replaced. (d) The bulb
might be burnt out. What other metaphors might work?
● Once the student has proposed solutions and resolved the problem, this is a good
opportunity to introduce the concept of decomposition. Ask them how they broke the problem
down into its parts and, from there, identified the solution. It’s a kind of “debugging”. (e.g. Does
the whole circuit not work? Do you know that each branch of the circuit works before you put
them together?)
This is an exploratory activity, so many questions can be answered with “Let’s find out!” or “What do
you think?” or “Let's ask this group if they can see what's happening here,” kind of response.

Creating an environment that:
● Builds confidence in dealing with complexity
● Encourages persistence in working with difficult problems - Let students know that this isn’t
easy, and they are new at this, so it’s okay if they don’t get it right away, but that they should
keep at it. There are many things that can go wrong, but it could be the materials and doesn’t
reflect the skill of the student.
● Allows for tolerance for ambiguity
● Works with open-ended problems with multiple solutions
● The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
● Encourages the questioning of given assumptions

Learning Objectives:
The student will be able to successfully

● understand different characteristics of the two types of circuits and their unique strengths
● make real-world connections to their work and apply circuit knowledge to their lives
Computational Thinking Objectives:
see end of lesson plan.
Introduction:
In this lesson, students will create series and parallel circuits. Afterwards, they will be given some time
to create their own circuits and scenarios for which their circuits may serve a purpose.
Introduction for the students:
An engineer working on an electrical machine must know the basics of circuitry. In this activity,
you will create series and parallel circuits then have freedom to create something more
complicated. Start thinking about how these circuits can be used in whatever device you might
8. 8
want to make. Remember what came out of your show and tell, asset mapping, data on your
day, or about me tools. How might this apply to something you could create?
Materials:
● Alligator leads
● ~3v flashlight bulbs w/sockets
● switches (ex: push button, toggle, knife)
● Battery pack
● Various types of batteries
● 3v Piezo Buzzers
Most of these materials can be found online at American Science and Surplus (sciplus.com) or All
Electronics (allelectronics.com).
Outline of Lesson:
● Ask students to build two different types of circuits: one in which turning off one light bulb
causes a second light bulb to turn off; and one in which turning off one light bulb doesn’t affect
the other.
● Give students 5-10 minutes to explore on their own with the materials provided.
● In their notebooks, ask students to draw sketches of the two circuits they made, making note of
any key similarities or differences.
● Ask students to explain what they discovered and give examples of where each type of circuit
might be useful.
● Inform students that circuits that follow a single path for electrons to flow are called series
circuits, while those that allow for multiple paths are called parallel circuits. Refer to Figures 2
and 3, respectively.
Figure 2:

Notebooks:
● Pattern recognition
○ What is needed for a successful circuit? Why?
○ What is needed for a series circuit?
○ What are characteristics of a series circuit? -- What would happen if a light
bulb on the circuit is disconnected?
○ What is needed for a parallel circuit?
○ What are the characteristics of a parallel circuit? -- What would happen if a
light bulb on the circuit is disconnected?
Challenge
● Explore how different circuit designs influence how light bulbs work. For example, when you
adjust the following variables:
○ Number of batteries used,
○ Number of light bulbs used, and
○ How the light bulbs are connected--series and parallel.
Notebooks (10-15 min):
● Draw sketches for your initial design that you used to figure out the relationships
between the batteries, light bulbs, and how they are connected.
● Pattern Recognition
○ Create a table and record the data you collected.
○ Find a pattern in the data and draw a conclusion.
○ Share out
11. 11
CT in action!
● Most modern computer languages support parallelism – sequences of instructions
happening at the same time (Brennan & Resnick, 2012). What is happening at the
same time with parallel circuits?
Possible Questions/Potential Responses:
Q. Why if only one of my bulbs lighting up in the parallel circuit?
● Some bulbs may be out. The branch may not be well connected.
● This is another opportunity for introducing the concept of decomposition. It’s best to
introduce it after the student has resolved the problem in order to congratulate them on their
ability to decompose problems.
This is an exploratory activity, so many questions may be answered by a “Let’s find out!” kind of
response. Additionally, these activities allow for students to go back and figure out why there is a
problem. Maybe they should grab a new bulb or a new wire, who knows! Push them to make these
discoveries on their own while they debug their circuits.

● Builds confidence in dealing with complexity - Understanding series and parallel circuits can be
complicated, but playing with the different types of circuits can build understanding.
