The primary goal of the present lab ?Let the experiment be made? is to propose a unified approach for the teaching of Electrostatics and Electric Current using demonstration experiments. In this way we hope to achieve an active learning classroom environment. The lab is constructed around a series of crucial questions that are answered within certain demonstration experiments. More over, there will be an effort to reveal a general pattern about how the science works and make distinction between description and explanation.
