| Title | Wire Resistance and Ohm's Law PhET Lab |
| Simulations | Hukum Ohm, Resistansi Konduktor |
| Keywords | ohm ohm's resistance wire circuit |
| Description | One-page (low paper use) minilab with five-point formal assessment at its conclusion. The lab should take no more than 30 minutes, including calculations and questions. This lab is easy for the students to perform and easy to grade. If absent, this lab can be done at home with little instructor input. This lab is performed early in a current and circuits unit at an urban high school in Las Vegas, Nevada. One drinking straw per student is also needed during this lab. |

Comments
What do you think about this activity? How did you use it or change it for your class? Professionally constructive comments welcome.
- I like the way you have used straws to help relate current to something that students are familiar with. 10/02/21
- THanks so much for this. It came in useful in my Tech Ed class. However, one of your Ohm's Law problems gives a value of .044A. However it's impossible to get that value by using any of the three sliders. Am I being stupid? :o) Thanks for your help! Alison Stephens 11/09/19
- Nope. I was hoping the kids would move away from using the sliders and just calculate it on their own. Thanks for the comment. 11/09/25
