HP Cycle 33

🟢 8: Th 4/9 - electric current information

Then, we'll do a lab where you will construct the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.  You will record your data and analysis in the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)".  You should be able to get all of your data during this class period.  There may be time at the end of next class period (after the assessment) to work on your analysis.  If you are not present for either day of the lab, you'll do the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (virtual)".

Presentation:  Electric Current Introduction

Homework:  ↩️ Pivot lab due by Friday, April 10th by 10pm.  No late work accepted in Pivot.  Quiz on Electric Potential Energy & Potential next class - Friday, April 10th!   

🟩❗8: F 4/10 - Ohm's Law & power

Quiz on Electric Potential Energy & Potential TODAY! 

If you have not yet finished the Ohm's Law Lab, finish the analysis first. 

Today, recalling the outcome of the lab, we'll review the proportionality relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, which we call Ohm's Law.  To confirm your results, watch the following three short videos:

Then complete the "Electric Current, Ohm's Law, & Power WSs".  There is information in this packet about what you should have gained from the lab in addition to information about how to calculate the power output of a circuit element, as a review of the videos above.

Presentation:  Ohm's Law, Light Bulbs, and Power  

Handout:  Electric Current, Ohm's Law, & Power WSs 

Homework:  ↩️ Pivot lab due by Friday, April 10th by 10pm.  No late work accepted in Pivot.  If you have not watched the videos above, do that.  Electric Current, Ohm's Law, & Power WSs due next class.  

💚 8: M 4/13 - series & parallel circuits lab

Today, we'll work to show evidence that we understand series and parallel circuits by completing Series & Parallel Circuits Activity.  In this lab, we'll explore connecting holiday lights to batteries or you can run a PhET simulation if you prefer.  Create your evidence of learning, and submit to ✏️ Google Classroom. 

Make sure you hand in "Series and Parallel (PH)" and "Simple Circuits CompuSheets" due today in class.

Homework:  Series & Parallel Circuits Activity due to ✏️ Google Classroom by Tuesday, April 14th at 10pm.  Even if you were absent, you can still do this activity virtually using the PhET simulation, so there is no excuse for late work.  

Optional Extra Practice:  📖Mastering Physics "Ch 23 - series & parallel circuits" problems:  #5, 10, 11, 12, 15, (17), 18, 23, 56, 58.
