As we continue to talk about electrical currents, today we held a class lab to demonstrate the affects diameter and length of an electrical wire have on a current. To demonstrate this we used a balloon to simulate our voltage source, our rubber tubing served as our conductor (wire), and the air inside the balloon represented our electrical current. Above is a short video from two of my students explaining how we used these materials and what we were testing in this lab exercise.
Mr. McClung
I viewed this video as an assignment for Dr. Strange’s EDM 310 class. I was not always fortunate enough in grade school to have awsome teachers that allowed us fun ways to learn. It was all text book definitions. I’m glad to see not all teachers are “going by the book” and that students are having fun learning. Plus they are participating in blogs and videos. Very cool.
I really enjoyed this video. Great Job Guys! My name is Katherine and I viewed your class blog for EDM 310 class at the University of South Alabama. I thought that was a great way to learn about electrical currents. I felt that I learned something just by watching your video. Thanks for being apart of the media world and posting video’s from your classroom. It’s a great way for students to learn. Keep up the great job!
I like all the assignments you guys are doing. I feel like the best way to learn is to be hands on and experiment. I did learn some new things watching these videos.
