We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Polarization Concept Builder
Concept Builders are great learning tools for developing and refining an understanding of a topic. This Concept Builder has three activities. The second activity, titled Particle Flow is an awesome follow-up to this video.
Physics Interactives, Static Electricity Chapter, Charging Simulation
