Here's a simple interactive 'Ohm's Law Laboratory' I created, which uses multiple custom sliders and the values which their positions generate, to allow users to explore the relationship between circuit voltage, resistance, current and the rating of the circuit's fuse.
Allow too much current to flow and you blow the fuse! The program explains what went wrong and why the fuse blew. The program also demonstrates how variables can be embedded in text to display customised feedback. It highlights the fact that real-world physical sliders don't have to look like SL sliders!
The exercise is at: http://www.timneill.org.uk/Demos/story.html
