Science Curriculum Standards 3237 - Conceptual Physics	Internet Resources
Measure voltage, current, and resistance. 4.1	Voltage Circuit Simulator - This exercise will help you determine the relationship between voltage (V), amperage (I) and resistance (R). This relationship is called Ohm's Law. Ohm’s Law - This applet shows a simple circuit containing one resistor. In addition there is a voltmeter (parallel to the resistor) and an ammeter (in series with the resistor) Ohm's Law (includes Voltage law and Current law)
Draw electric field lines, given a scenario of charged particles. 4.2	Magnetic Field of a Straight Current-Carrying Wire - This applet simulates an experiment concerning the magnetic field of a straight current-carrying wire.
Draw and explain series and parallel circuits. 4.3	Simple AC Circuits - This Java applet shows a simple circuit consisting of an alternating voltage source and, depending on the selected radio button, a resistor (without inductivity), a capacitor or an ideal coil (without resistance). Combinations of Resistors - an applet illustrating either series or parallel Combinations of Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors - java applet
Identify components of series and parallel circuits and solve problems related to voltage, current, and resistance. 4.4
Build series and parallel circuits and describe how they function. 4.5
Demonstrate and explain electromagnetic induction. 4.6
Sketch the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet. 4.7	Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet - The magnetic field of a bar magnet can be investigated with this compass needle applet.
Create a simple electromagnet. 4.8
