characters that they meet and taking notes in their online journal. Finally, they report what they have learned to the mayor and, via a video, see that their research has resulted in AC electricity lighting up the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. • Houston in 1970 during the Apollo 13 mission: Through video and digital graphic novels, users learn about the oxygen tank explosion and the resulting challenge of fitting command module air filters into the lunar module. They are tasked with helping the NASA engineers at the mission control center, where the engineers have many questions for the user about how to proceed. Should they work separately or together? Whose ideas should they use? Based on the
electrical topics, describing thedifference between DC and AC signals. Introduce wave properties (concepts of amplitude,period, frequency, wavelength, and phase). Demonstrate creating waves with a waveform orfunction generator and observing them with an oscilloscope. Connect the wave properties withvisualization of the waves. Let the students explore sending and viewing waves and takingmeasurements of waves. Have the students build a circuit with an LED and resistor (220 ohm) powered by thefunction generator and figure out the amplitude and frequency that can make the light appearflickering. Have them drive the frequency higher until the light appears continuous. See if theycan determine our visual frame rate limit. Give each student a
