Electronics Lab Essentials (1/7): read a breadboard before wiring

Students learn how breadboard holes form electrical nodes, trace a complete path, and confirm their interpretation with a real Hive resistance measurement.

• Define an electrical node and identify connected breadboard holes.
• Explain why the center trench separates the two terminal strips.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

Electronics Lab Essentials (3/7): measure resistance and voltage correctly

Students choose DMM resistance or DC-voltage mode, connect across the correct nodes, preserve the required powered state, and interpret units and signs.

• Choose resistance or DC-voltage mode for a stated measurement.
• Explain why resistance is normally measured on an unpowered circuit.

Electronics Lab Essentials (4/7): measure current without creating a short circuit

Students learn why an ammeter is inserted in series, predict and measure real DC current, convert A and mA, and apply a safe physical-meter sequence.

• Explain why an ammeter is inserted in series rather than placed across a supply.
• Predict current using Ohm's law and an equivalent resistance.

Ohm's Law with Hive: measure a real current

Students use a prepared resistor circuit in LabsLand Hive, measure the real current with the multimeter in DC current mode, and check whether the result fits V = I · R.

• Distinguish voltage, current, and resistance in a simple circuit.
• Measure current in a real Hive circuit without modifying a safe prepared setup.

Includes student questions and response prompts.
