Abstract
We present an approach to learn about electricity and dc electric circuits by using real representational models based on the gravitational analogy. The additively manufactured models are deployed in a small-scale teaching intervention on electric potential and voltage in simple electric circuits. From the preliminary results considerable learning gains can be inferred.
