Tuesday November 24, 2015

Today the students worked on this website: THE FUSE BOX CIRCUIT BUILDER

When done with that they also had a chance to do either the extra credit of view the digital lesson over circuits: HOW DOES AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT WORK VIRTUAL LAB

Extra Credit

Due next Tuesday December 1st
It will be worth 2 free 100 homework replacement grades of 15 extra points on the last test grade.

Create a google slides document and share it with me.

The slides document must contain at least 7 slides.
It must contain information regarding series and parallel circuits
It must also contain information over our new objective: I can demonstrate that the flow of electricity in a circuit requires a complete path through which an electric current can pass and can produce light, heat and sound.

Today we completed a circuit lab.  Below you can see some pictures of the students working hard on it.

Tomorrow we will have a spiral quiz over warm-ups we have done and a notes quiz over the notes below.

How do electric circuits, conductors and insulators work?
Some go with the flow?
-Conductors- Allow electricity to easily pass through them
-Insulators-prevents the flow of electricity
-Examples of conductors and insulators-
                -Copper Wire=Conductor
                -Electric Gloves= insulator
                -Electrical tape= insulator
                -Lightning Rod=conductor
A path to charge?
An electric circuit is a complete pathway made of conductors through which electricity cab flow.







Devices in a circuit such as lamps, buzzers or appliances are called resistances or loads.

Which path to take?
Series Circuit- An electric current that has only one pathway to follow to and from the energy source.









Parallel Circuit-Contains two or more paths for electric charges to follow.








Home Circuits?
Your home electrical system is a small part of a larger system that includes your city, state and national region.

Many of the forms of energy that you see around your house begin as electricity.
