Part of Lesson Plan: **Use of a Multimeter (updated) By Michael Drouin

Activity Overview / Details

Point to the resistance position on the overhead, switch the meter to the resistance position, show students the meter.

As the electrons flow through anything, they meet resistance. I hook up and check the resistance on a couple of things (wire etc. what ever you have).

I draw the correct connection on the board. Explain to make sure voltage is off when checking resistance.

This is a good time to point out that you cannot measure intelligence, only the resistance your body has (the joke).
