    The students will benefit from this more than simply being given the solution. Rather than showing the students a movie that relates to a book they read the students can perform a reader’s theater. Instead of discussing chemical reactions a simple experiment that the students can complete can help them better grasp what occurs in a reaction. I believe that the best way to help the students connect to the content is to make the connections personal. Interest surveys conducted at the beginning of the year can help teachers find ideas for ways to connect different content areas.…

    Background Information Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the build-up of charged particles, either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current (Oxford dictionary, 2015). The effect of electricity can be seen in play daily, whether through a simple light bulb, or a complex application such as providing energy to a power plant. It is often stated that electricity is the most versatile and easily controlled form of energy, and at the point of use it is practically loss-free and essentially non-polluting (I.E.C., 2015). However, as with most energy, electricity experiences a force that acts against its efficiency, known as resistivity or resistance. Resistivity is the material property that pertains to how difficult it is for…
