Cool look back in the past regarding plate tectonics...
Today in class we worked with meters, batteries, lights as resistors, and wire to learn how to measure Ohms, Volts, and Amps. Eventually everyone got the chance to measure resistance of at least an individual light bulb and see what happened to resistance of 2 light bulbs in series (R increased) and parallel (R decreased)..., measure voltage in different scenarios of adding batteries in series +-+-+- or having one in reverse... dropping voltage more than not having the battery there at all. Finally, we measured current in a short circuited battery vs. with a resistor, and some classes got to see what happened with series and parallel resistors to compare.
Tomorrow we'll start a lab on Ohm's law. I don't anticipate finishing until Monday, especially since we didn't get to discuss answers to today's homework.
