We looked at what an electrostatic precipitator is. We also used this idea (what cleans the soot out of smoke from a smoke stack) to help learn how to write stronger open-ended questions. We ended by looking at the difference between series and parallel circuits. HAPPY EASTER!!!
Today we got a computer lab! Everyone completed a phet simulation lab using the DC circuit. You handed it in as it will be marke
We looked at static electricity and discharge today. Tomorrow we are in the computer lab.
Today we worked in groups practising with the pHet circuit lab (DC only). I will try to upload the link to this tonight.
You were to answer some questions from your text about Static Electricity. Also..there was time to finish 'October SKy'. Monday we work on circuits - if you have a laptop, please bring
I was unexpectedly called away during your Science class yesterday and so...you watched a movie (there is about 20 min left and we will finish it either today or next week). So today we will do the lesson I listed yesterday!
Today we did some initial work on static electricity. We did worksheets: Is the Atom Charged and Law of Electric Charges. These are downloadable on the website. We also experimented with 2 simulations - these links are available as 'Weblinks' on the Electric
After graphing the energy used by a typical home and school, you answered some questions and handed your work in. Tomorrow we will start on Static Electricity.
We took a note on 'Evaluating our Energy use' - it is uploaded on Electricity page. We also reviewed how to do a proper bar graph and made 2 graphs today. Tomorrow we will work with these graphs.
We talked about how (and why) we should conserve energy. We finished the class with a Bill Nye movie on electricity. ENJOY THE MARCH BREAK!!!
