PP+ Series vs Electrical Quantities

The Series and Parallel Circuits lab uses resistors, a power supply, a voltmeter, and an ammeter to investigate the effective resistances of circuits with resistors in series, in parallel, and in combinations of series and parallel components. It is part of Polyhedron Physics Plus, a set of 24 iPad apps for use in the classroom. To see how they work, try the FREE PP+ Newton’s 2nd Law lab. For those who’d prefer to develop their own experiments, the PP Series-Parallel Circuits app features a similar apparatus without lab procedures and other supporting materials. In addition to a 3D simulation that produces realistic data, each lab includes introductory videos, background theory, experimental procedure, analysis and reporting tools, pre-lab quiz, post-lab questions, and teacher support materials. The experimental data produced by the simulations are realistic, including random and systematic errors. These features allow students to use standard data analysis and error analysis techniques to report on their own unique data, just as if the experiment had been performed using hands-on equipment. These labs can serve as replacements for hands-on labs, especially when equipment is not available, or as supplements to hands-on labs. They are also a suitable option for students in distance learning and home school situations. Formative and summative evaluations showed no significant difference in learning between students using the virtual labs and those using hands-on labs. Preliminary results suggest increased learning by students using the virtual labs as supplements to hands-on. Polyhedron Physics was developed by Polyhedron Learning Media, Inc. with partial funding provided under contract numbers ED-07-CO-0040 and ED-IES-11-C-0029 from the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

Electrical Quantities physics app is designed for K12 students to learn the basics of electric circuit such as voltage, resistance and more. The app illustrates the process of insulators and conductors, electric current and electric flow and electrical resistance.In addition, the Electrical Quantities physics app helps to calculate the electrical voltage and electrical resistance. With an objective to make the physics concept simple to understand for students, the app is designed with animations, virtual experiments and activities. Modules - Electrical Quantities: Learn - This section helps to learn electric current, voltage and resistance through interactive circuit diagrams. Electric Current - Using Ammeter to identify electric circuit, conductors and insulators through interactive experiment with 3D animations. Voltage and Resistance - Practice using Ohm’s triangle to calculate energy, electrical voltage and electrical resistance in an interactive way. 2) Practice - This section helps to experiment electric circuit, and voltage and resistance with 3D animations. 3) Quiz - An Interactive quiz to test the level of understanding about electric current, voltage and resistance.
