- Use the wires in the upper right to connect the battery, switch and lamp.
- Press the switch button to verify that your circuit is wired correctly (the lamp should light if so).
- You are at Step 11 of the activity. Click Bulb Energy to add the energy chart and run the simulation again. The switch will automatically turn off after 10s.
- For Step 12 of the activity you will need to click Battery Energy to add the energy chart for the battery.
- You will need to watch a video of the simulation for Simulator Exploration #2
- Come back to this simulation for Simulator Exploration #3
- Click add Gencon. This is a handheld generator
- Connect the wires and verify that the bulb lights when cranking. Note that you only need 2 wires for this experiment.
- Now add the Gencon/Bulb Energy Chart
- Due to the slackness of your instructor and the fact that there were only so many hours in the day and this whole basketball tournament, Step 5 is not part of this simulation. However, I think you have a pretty good idea of what will happen. Call me over to your group when you have an idea and we will chat briefly to confirm or correct your thinking.
