This item is a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) activity for high school physics that presents the task of writing a 21st Century encyclopedia article about Coulomb's Law. The article must be scientifically accurate and provide links to digital media that illustrate the concept (animations, simulations, computer models). Teacher-generated ideas are kept to a minimum, challenging students to locate, analyze, and evaluate resources themselves.

SEE RELATED MATERIALS for a link to the student materials that accompany this lesson plan (includes scene script and rubric for problem solving).

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.
