Today, I did Lab #3, which I named Relationships in a Circuit. Here, I explored the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit. This activity required previous knowledge- things I recently learnt in the past two activities. I used two simulations for this one. Ohm's law, which I learnt about in Simulation two and had a small introduction in Lab one, was finally understood well. Other things I learnt can be summarized to this:
I found this website very helpful as well. It answered a lot of my questions. I have yet to write a complete lab report, but if there are any questions I need to ask, it'll be useful.
I, however, was not about to complete the lab report from Lab #2, nor did I have any more time at home than the one hour "class" time and a few spare minutes to write this post. Viewing the videos will have to wait. However, I did have a suitable outline for this lab, as well as a focused research question. When I find time I will complete the lab #2 and #3 lab reports and watch the videos.
Next week I will be doing that before I start on Week Two of the possible timeline. The schedule will be pushed back a bit, but now that I have gotten the hang of this, hopefully I will get back on track and pass through things I understand more quickly. This whole unit's estimated time of eight weeks will probably be the same.
These are great reflections Ploy. You're making fine progress, so don't worry too much about not being right on schedule. Some things will probably move faster than others. One thing that might help would be, when you're planning, be specific about what you think you will get done in class and what you think you will get done at home. Thanks!
