Ohm's Law Story Model
Read the original story below, then answer each question. Use details from the story to support your ideas. For the final activity, plan a science story opening of about 200 words.
Rain drummed on the roof of the little workshop, while wind nudged the windows in their frames. On the bench, a camping lantern sat dark and silent beside a scatter of wires and tools. Beyond the glass, clouds hid the last strip of sunset.
“Will the lantern work for the camping trip tomorrow?” asked Eli. His aunt Rosa turned the lantern over and opened its battery compartment. A wire had come loose, and one small resistor was scorched.
“We can repair it,” Rosa said. “But we need the right resistor so the current is safe for the lamp.” She set a battery on the bench. “This circuit uses 3 volts, and the lamp needs 0.006 amperes. Remember Ohm’s Law: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance.”
Eli wrote the relationship as V = I × R. To find resistance, he rearranged it: R = V ÷ I. He calculated 3 ÷ 0.006 and got 500 ohms. Rosa found a 500-ohm resistor in a labelled parts box.
Together they replaced the damaged part and checked the connections. The lantern blinked once, then shone steadily across the bench. Its golden light caught the raindrops on the window like tiny beads of glass.
Eli grinned. “We used the numbers instead of guessing.”
“Exactly,” Rosa replied. “Careful thinking can turn a problem into a plan.” The wind eased, and the workshop no longer seemed quite so small or dark.
Story Analysis
Use the story to answer the questions.
1.Which detail most clearly appeals to the sense of hearing and helps establish the stormy setting?
- “Rain drummed on the roof”
- “a scatter of wires and tools”
- “a 500-ohm resistor”
- “a labelled parts box”
2.How do Eli and Rosa decide which resistor to use?
- They choose a part at random.
- They use Ohm’s Law and calculate the resistance.
- They wait for the storm to stop.
- They replace the battery with a larger one.
3.Write the Ohm’s Law relationship stated in the story.
4.A circuit has a voltage of 4 volts and a current of 0.008 amperes. Use Ohm’s Law to calculate the resistance in ohms. Show your calculation.
5.How does the author use setting details to make the scene vivid or create a mood? Include at least two details from the story in your explanation.
6.Write an original science story opening of about 200 words. Choose a science idea, create a vivid setting using sensory details, and introduce a character facing a problem that could be explored through science.
