intro to Ohm's, 5/15

slide show NOTES from 5/15... it's rough... 
ohm's law in circuits wired in series.
other sources online OK... my notes, pretty standard explanation...
we'll come back to parallel circuits on Wednesday and Friday.

Lesson plan 5/17


Lab/ activity
Turn in...
Should be done by...
  1. What do bulbs do to the moving charge? (Packet #2)
One ‘packet’ per team,
attach computer-generated graph & data table.
DUE Monday, 5/15…
If this is not done, you are now officially running behind!  Come into lunch or flex
HW READING BLOG

Beginning of period Wednesday
2.   What makes a charge move?
(‘Section 3’)
everyone should do their own last page…  
And turn it in SEPARATELY.  The rest of the packet is to be shared & kept in notes.
End of period Wednesday
3. HW: Series Practice questions
ONE PER PERSON!
Beginning of period Friday
4. Electricity Exploration #3: parallel circuits
One per team
DUE beginning of class
Tuesday 5/23

Electricity Exploration follow up AND Electrostatic Forces

Lesson Plan for 5/5
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE ACTIVITIES IN THIS ORDER.   DUE Tuesday, 5/9

I. Finish Electricity Exploration #1.  Do NOT start #2.  
If you were gone Wednesday, please spend today doing Electricity Exploration #1- do NOT copy a friend's lab. 


II. Watch how a light bulb works videos.  (focus on incandescent, filament bulbs for now)
     best I could find:      1. "I didn't know that" on Light bulbs             2. Naked Science Scrapbook

                             Bonus: Good comparison between different types of bulbs.  (just for fun)

III. Turn in Electricity Exploration #1 into the turn in Box.  One per person. 

Use your text book &/or online research to find background information on Coulomb's law, page 1. Practice using this law on page #2.
      DO NOT DO HW assignment on pages 628-655.  These pages will replace it. 
      THIS PACKET IS DUE TUESDAY!!!

V.  Watch CRASH COURSE VIDEO: Electric Fields... to answer pages 3&4  I'd put on the captions and stop it A LOT.   

VI.   Open up Phet Simulation on Electric Fields to answer questions on pages 4 &5.

VII. Bonus friday Physics Fun! 

         PhET electric hockey

         (extra credit if you can explain why most ocean  beaches are     
         sandy not muddy.  must refer to this graph and electrostatic 
         forces).
