Circuits in Physics
April 03, 2008
When my students do electrical experiments in physics, the wires and electrical components of the circuits slide all over the place, making it difficult for my students and me to compare the circuits the students assemble with the really neat-looking diagrams in the manual or on the board. So I give each student group a piece of masking tape. They tear it into smaller pieces to hold the wires down in some semblance of the diagrams, making it easier for them and for me, when I check problems.
