Ohm's Law
The unit in electricity began on the Friday of optics week with the first 50 minutes of shock and awe. On Monday Power comes in many forms. Wednesday deployed a new presentation on electrical appliances.
The lab on Thursday used the simplified single meter Ohn's law lab. This forces the students to continuously change their connections from across the load to in the circuit, reinforcing that voltage is across a load, current is measured in the circuit. If the circuit is preset with two meters the students do not have the physical interaction of the change from measuring current to voltage.
As a future recommendation, preset the rigs. Less chaos and disorder.
This term I kept the rig as simplified as possible.
One group had not seen snaps before. They had no idea that one pushes them together to connect.

Mandalee, Sheral, and Chauncy worked at a fourth rig that was set up later. They were working with two extra connecting wires which facilitated the shift from measuring current to voltage and back.
