5E Lesson plans developed by participants after a day exploring Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering Technology.


 * ===**5E Component**=== || ===**Link to Resource**=== || ===**Brief Description of Resource**=== ||
 * Engage || MacGyver flashlight student handout



MacGyver flashlight web || The students take a wire, a light bulb, and a D cell battery and explore ways to create a simple circuit. The website has pictorial diagrams on the most common way that you can complete the circuit and acts like an answer key to putting it together. This activity helps students gain some insight on how electrical charge flows ||
 * Explore || [[file:Phet Lab on circuits.docx|Phet lab circuits]] || Teacher can choose from a series of different labs to let the students do some exploring with circuits to gain some understanding of how circuits work. ||
 * Explain || [|simple circuits worksheet] || Teacher led discussion questions describing components of a simple circuit and their functions. ||
 * Elaborate || [[file:ETF 2015 Ohm's Law.docx|Ohm's Law Lab]] || The students will use the online pHet simulation of electric circuits to demonstrate Ohm's Law using digital multimeters to collect data that are plotted to show that voltage and current are related by linear functions for ordinary resistors and by power functions for light bulbs, LEDs, & DC motors. ||
 * Evaluate || [[file:TM eval2 elec.doc|exam]] || Test is part traditional paper/pencil with questions of varying degrees of difficulty, part construction of circuits. It can be modified to fit into longer block scheduling or traditional 50 minute class periods. ||
