Foundations Part II

20m Pause and Reflect
60m Continue Laboratory
20m Attaching Theory to Practice

Pause and Reflect

We’ll begin by discussing where we made it to on Tuesday. There’s a critical learning point that we should all see, and then revisit some of our setup.

You will want to refer back to the lab from Tuesday.

Continue Lab

We’ll then continue the laboratory. You should write up a short report with your partner as part of this work. (Details regarding the report are on the homework page.)

Attaching Theory to Practice

I’ll interrupt your work before the end of the period to introduce some theory that you can bring to bear over the weekend. Specifically, I want to talk a bit about how we do calculations regarding parallel and series resistors.

There will be homework over the weekend that has you practicing the mathematics of the theories we’ve seen so far (Ohm’s Law, etc.), as well as finishing your report.
