Wed, Thurs. - During the PSSA's you should complete the following assignment on circuits.

Friday- Please work on the following items. If you have completed all other work, begin to work on your Science Essay, DUE NEXT FRIDAY, March 25th!!!!!

= = = = =March 7th-11th=

Monday- Today in class we will be working on the current electricity exploration from last week. You can find the information at the bottom of this page (March 2011).

Tuesday- Review Current Electricity Concepts- see new concepts posted on webpage.

Wednesday- Electricity Concepts and Problems will be reviewed through a paper handed out in class. If you need this paper, see Miss Peterka.

Thursday- CURRENT ELECTRICITY QUIZ- [] After class we will work on completing your Ohm's Law problems on the back of the worksheet from yesterday. You will then get a chance to create your own circuit. Grab the Basic Circuit Stencil from my Teacher's Folder. Drop it on your desktop, then relocate it to the following place- Username (house)/Library/Application Support/Omnigraffle/Stencils

Friday- Batteries!!! [| Learn how they work], and then come up with a way to make your own!

Voltage Lab

= = =February 28th- March 4th=

Monday- Static Electricity- Investigating static properties with a Van de Graff Generator. See notes for review or more information-

Tuesday-Static Electricity Exploration- Using John Travoltage and Balloons with a Sweater, complete the lab activity listed as the Static Lab.

Wednesday- Today we are going to take a look at Coulomb's Law. F= k q1 q2 / r^2 Take the class to accurately and correctly answer the following questions- http://peterkaphysics3.wikispaces.com/Coulomb%27s+Law+and+Electrostatics

Need some help?- Here's some helpful information-

Thursday- QUIZ DAY- **Static Electricity 2011** []

When you are finished, please work on your Coulomb's Law Questionaire from yesterday (above). Complete the questions, have Miss Peterka look over them, and then submit them.

Friday- Today we will be shifting our focus from Static electricity to Current Electricity. We will investigate how it works and learn how it is different from static electricity. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-ac-virtual-lab
