Electrifying the Circuits Unit: The Construction of Electric Board Games in Introductory Physics
Sperling, Alissa; Kruger, Ellen; Martin, James
Physics Teacher, v60 n6 p484-486 Sep 2022
Students experience current electricity every day in our wired world, yet the circuit problems that students work through in physics class can seem far removed from the common experience of switching on a light bulb. However, current electricity provides many opportunities to engage students in hands-on learning. Through circuit construction, students can begin to visualize what can't be seen--the flow of electrons through a wire.
