Using Blueprints to Troubleshoot a Defective Water Pump
In this simulation activity, an electrician troubleshoots a defective water pump that will not start. To find the problem, the learner selects the appropriate blueprints that must be referred to while performing the troubleshooting steps. Then safety protocols will be followed, such as making lockout-tag out installations and donning PPE items before taking measurements with a multimeter to locate the faulty component.
Plumbing Sizing Activity: Assigning WSFUs and Pipe Size to the Water Distribution System
The learner assigns water supply fixture units and pipe sizes to a water distribution system using the Wisconsin Plumbing Code and a uniform pressure loss worksheet.
In this interactive object, learners assign water supply fixture units to a water distribution system using Section 82.40 of the Wisconsin Plumbing Code.
In this interactive learning object, the learner practices sizing a tank-type water heater for one- and two-family residences, townhouses, and apartments with individual water heaters.
Learners view movie clips to determine the solubility of two ionic compounds. They also examine a solubility chart and predict the solubility of compounds.
Common Types of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Screencast)
Learners identify combination, decomposition, displacement, and combustion types of redox reactions. They also watch a video clip that demonstrates the reaction of sodium and water.
In this animated object, learners examine the design of a ladder circuit that provides manual control to a water pumping system. Students also study modifications to the circuit as the complexity of the system increases.
How Adding Parallel Branches Decreases Total Resistance
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how resistance decreases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Learners examine the ways in which a motor starter circuit is protected by a main circuit breaker and overload heaters when there is excessive current.
Learners examine devices that are used to protect a motor from damage, such as fuses, overload heaters, and thermal protectors. A quiz completes the activity.
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
