What are we studying?

March 03, 2010

 

We are currently studying Electricity and Magnetism
  • Describe the interactions (i.e., repel, attract) of like and unlike charges (i.e., magnetic, static electric, electrical)
  • Diagram and identify a complete electric circuit by using a source (battery),  means of transfer (wires), and receiver (resistance bulbs, motors, fans)
  • Observe and describe the evidence of energy transfer in a closed series circuit
  • Describe the effects of resistance (number of receivers), amount of voltage (number of energy sources), and kind of transfer materials on the current being transferred through a circuit (e.g., brightness of light, speed of motor)
  • Classify materials as conductors or insulators of electricity when placed within a circuit (e.g., wood, pencil lead, plastic, glass, aluminum foil, lemon juice, air, water)
  • Diagram and distinguish between complete series and parallel circuits
  • Identify advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits

Upcoming Tests

 

I am attempting to revise my test policy.  I am going to try and have shorter tests on Fridays using ActivExpressions combined with written parts.
