The new HTML5 versions include several customization options found in the Teacher Tips.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Explain basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits.
  • Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take measurements.
  • Build circuits from schematic drawings.
  • Compare and contrast AC and DC circuits.
  • Describe how capacitors and inductors behave in a circuit.
  • Construct RLC circuits and determine the conditions for resonance.
