Activities
- "Water Circuit Lab" is a classroom activity designed to introduce circuits using a water analogy. Concepts covered include current, voltage, resistance, and series and parallel arrangements.
- "Ohm's Law Lab" is a classroom activity to determine the relationship between voltage, resistance, and amperage. By numerical and graphic analysis, students derive Ohms law and test their derivation on a resistor of unknown resistance.
Take-home Materials
- Notes from Brad Minch 's lecture, "CMOS-VLSI Circuit Design "
- Lab manual for "Water Circuit" lab kit. Equipment available through the CIPT lending library.
- Lab Manual for "Ohm's Law "lab kit. Equipment available through the CIPT lending library.
There is no charge for the workshop. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Five and one-half in-service credits will be awarded for participation.
