In students’ electricity studies in physical science, they learned about the concept of Ohm and how nichrome wire heats up as it resists the flow of electrons. Maya and Tessa are looking at their homemade lightbulb modeled after Thomas Edison’s first light bulb. Students did research and created drawings of some of our modern-day appliances that use resistance to help us accomplish simple tasks. Their research included hair dryers, irons, toasters, space heaters, heating pads, and electric blankets.
