Electricity and Magnetism Test

TEST TOMORROW

What should you do to prepare?  Here's a list:
1. Read, skim or scan pages 126-175 and complete the pages
2.  Go over your Basics of Electrical Circuits formative Worksheet (you got it back today), correct any wrong answers.
3.  Go over your static electricity cartoon
4.  Go through your last set of reflections
5.  Go through Magnetism and Electromagnetism slideshow and the work you completed with that slideshow.
6.  Go through your electric current digital lesson
7.  Go through your circuit labs

Today you will complete an inquiry experiment by first building an electromagnet online and then building one for real!  Here is the website you will start at:  Build an electromagnet

For today's assignment go through the presentation and complete the work on a piece of paper.  You'll need your textbook and headphones:   Magnetism and Electromagnetism Introduction

For Today's lab:  Circuit Construction Kit (DC only)

For today Complete the:  Electricity Digital Lesson

Here is the website for the last part of this assignment:  Resistance experiment

Atoms and Charges Notes


For your Static Electricity Formative Cartoon:

Static electricity in general
Lightning
Electric shock 1

For Today:

Static Electricity Interactive

Write 4 observations that you made while completing this activity.

Tomorrow there will be a quiz on gravity.  Here are the review questions we did in class with the clickers:  Gravity Review Questions  I posted the answers to the very last page (no cheating!)
