In this activity students will learn how a radio tuning circuit works by investigating a circuit consisting of an inductor and a capacitor- an LC circuit. Upon completion of this activity, students should be able to describe the properties of an LC circuit, describe resonance in an LC circuit, and describe why an LC circuit can be used as a radio tuner. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-ac
