inquiry

shared by John Burk on 24 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • I explained that we were building the model we’d be using to predict the behaviour of circuits for the  next two years, and that on tests, I would be evaluating whether they used their model in a well-reasoned way (“You’re going to grade us based on what we say??”  They were astounded).  I cautioned them against rejecting things too quickly, since they would need as much structure as they could get. 
  • After each presentation, we discuss it and voted on it.  For voting, they used the feedback flashcards I’d made in September.  Green means accept; red means reject; yellow means “I have a question or want something clarified”.

    outstanding post describing a true inquiry based classroom in a college level electronics course. Students actively build model to explain the behavior they see in circuits.

    Molecules is an application for viewing three-dimensional renderings of molecules and manipulating them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. These structures can be viewed in both ball-and-stick and spacefilling visualization modes.

resistance circuits voltage video physics

shared by John Burk on 21 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • Using a fast-pulsing laser, physicists have recorded the first moments of electrical resistance, the friction that generates heat as electricity travels through circuits.
  • Physicists knew electrical resistance didn’t kick in the moment a voltage was applied. Electrons experience some freedom before slowing to a crawl and scattering. What wasn’t certain was how quickly they make that transition (illustrated in the animation above, with electrons in blue, “electron holes” left by departing electrons in red, and voltage signified by the green arrow).

    post contains very interesting video simulation showing electrons in a semiconductor responding to the applied voltage.
