Material Detail

This item is Problem-Based Learning (PBL) activity for high school physics that asks learners to construct a flashlight using only broken and salvaged parts. In the opening scenario, a group of students are lost in a fully dark cave. One flashlight breaks in a fall and the battery dies in the other. Students have a time limit to figure out how to make the circuit work with only "salvage" items provided for the lesson. <b><i>SEE RELATED MATERIALS</b> for a link to the student materials that accompany this lesson plan (includes scene script and rubric for problem solving).</i> CASES Online is a growing collection of inquiry-based lessons developed to explore the science behind real-world problems. More than 200 cases are available, covering all strands of the sciences. The cases are grounded in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Investigative Case-Based Learning (ICBL) pedagogy.
