Electricity Visualized: Student Manual
The CASTLE Project
This unit of the CASTLE Curriculum (Capacitor-Aided System for Teacher and Learning Electricity) was developed for teachers who want to engage students' interest through hands-on investigation, overcome misconceptions that inhibit learning and reasoning, and foster development of effective explanatory models. It provides a complete laboratory-based teaching module that can replace the sections of electricity in all introductory physics courses -- undergraduate college level as well as high school.
This curriculum emphasizes circuits because they provide settings for inquiry that are intensely interesting for students with varied learning styles and are well-suited to the development of intuitive mental models.
