Electrical Power

Bellwork:

Notes:

Homework: finish Concept-Development 34-2. Don't forget the back!

Ohm's Law

Today we derived Ohm's Law using some fake data:


Ohm's Law can be written three ways:
V=IR
I=V/R
R=V/I

Homework: finish the back of Concept-Development 34-1.

Electrical Resistance

Bellwork, which got drawn all over by the end of class:

Notes:

A little practice:

Homework: complete the FRONT of Concept-Development 34-1. We'll be doing the back on Monday.

Notes:

Practice (note that for most classes, it was homework to finish this chart and turn it in tomorrow):

Coulomb's Law

Bellwork:

Notes:


Homework: Concept-Development 32-1

Finding Coulomb's Law

Today we used the following simulated data to derive the relationships between electrostatic force, charge, and distance between two charges. Next class we'll use these relationships to formulate Coulomb's Law.

Charging Objects

Bellwork:


Notes:

Not really charging, but cool:

Basic Electrostatics

Today we went over a few things we learned in our lab last week and in our reading while I was out sick.
Bellwork:

Notes:

Machines

Energy Practice

Today we took some time to work through a classic energy problem on bellwork:


Then you had a little time to finish off your homework. Due today:

Crossword puzzle with work ranking task on the back
Energy walk-through (half sheet)
Concept-Development 8-1

New homework, due tomorrow:

Power

First we made our way through the bellwork, finishing in a teensy bit of notes about power:



Then we walked and ran up and down the stairs to get the feel of low power and high power. Finally, the Energy Walkthrough and Concept-Development 8-1 were assigned (due Monday) and some time given to work on them.

Work

I know this looks like a lot of notes, but they are pretty spread out...
