Guiding them through a test
Part of Lesson Plan: How to Use a Cable Tester
Activity Overview / Details
At this point, the kids are getting antsy and want to test their own cables. I have a set of Rover testers (not shown above) which I purchased for the class set. Show the students how to use one of the type of tester that you have a class set of for their use.
Distribute a tester per small group. Have students test their cables while you walk around, making sure they are testing them correctly.
Acknowledge their work and successes. Work with those who need help. Peer tutoring is really great during these types of lessons.
After you test their cables for correctness, have them mark the cables.
