In this physics lab students will investigate whether Ohm's Law applies to common electric devices (incandescent light bulbs and LEDs). This activity is based on a PRISMS activity.

Students model, build, and draw diagrams of electric circuits and test the conductivity of a variety of materials.

In this animation produced by WGBH and Digizyme, Inc., see how molecules of DNA are separated using gel electrophoresis, and how this process enables scientists to compare the molecular variations of two or more DNA samples.

This is a guided inquiry in which the students determine how a light bulb works.

This activity is an inquiry where students will design an electrolytic cell that produces work in the form of lighting a bulb.

This video adapted from NASA explains how a magnetometer determines magnetic fields around planets.

Included in this resource are several project guides for the second unit (Motors and Electricity) of the Snap-Circuits Basic Electronics Kits manual. These are to be used in conjunction with the provided manual as a guide for students to engage in inquiry-based project learning. There are also project guides for use with PhET online simulations on basic circuits. (Students should have access to multimeters for these activities)

This course provides an introduction to the transportation industry's major technical challenges and considerations. For upper level undergraduates interested in learning about the transportation field in a broad but quantitative manner. Topics include road vehicle engineering, internal combustion engines, batteries and motors, electric and hybrid powertrains, urban and high speed rail transportation, water vessels, aircraft types and aerodynamics, radar, navigation, GPS, GIS. Students will complete a project on a subject of their choosing.
