Plumbing Sizing Activity: Assigning WSFUs and Pipe Size to the Water Distribution System
The learner assigns water supply fixture units and pipe sizes to a water distribution system using the Wisconsin Plumbing Code and a uniform pressure loss worksheet.
In this interactive learning object, the learner practices sizing a tank-type water heater for one- and two-family residences, townhouses, and apartments with individual water heaters.
Learners read how inches of water column is used as a unit of pressure measurement. Practical applications and a conversion formula to psi are included.
Learners read about how universities, government agencies, energy companies, and nanotech firms are working together to use nanotechnology to help produce clean water for consumption.
Using Blueprints to Troubleshoot a Defective Water Pump
In this simulation activity, an electrician troubleshoots a defective water pump that will not start. To find the problem, the learner selects the appropriate blueprints that must be referred to while performing the troubleshooting steps. Then safety protocols will be followed, such as making lockout-tag out installations and donning PPE items before taking measurements with a multimeter to locate the faulty component.
Dietary Manager Training: Cooling Foods Using an Ice Water Bath
In this animated learning object, learners read about the proper handling of foods that contain the nutrients and water that bacteria require for growth.
In this scenario, learners put themselves in the place of a safety director at a local company. They watch video of an injury-causing incident and propose changes to company policies and procedures to try to maintain a safe environment.
Learners view movie clips to determine the solubility of two ionic compounds. They also examine a solubility chart and predict the solubility of compounds.
In this interactive object, learners assign water supply fixture units to a water distribution system using Section 82.40 of the Wisconsin Plumbing Code.
Dietary Manager Training: Hydration, Dehydration, and Elderly Clients
Learners read about the role of water, the basic physiology of water balance, and the effects of dehydration particularly on elderly clients. Tips for maintaining proper hydration are presented. In an interactive exercise, students calculate how much fluid a client needs based on his/her age, health, and weight.
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
