Assignment

Final Quiz of the Year! 

Covering
  • static electricity (which particles in an atom move, how an atom becomes positively/negatively charged, charge interactions, and the triboelectric series)
  • electric fields (what they are, how we represent them, interpreting field lines, using the equation E=F/q, including how to work with numbers expressed in scientific notation)
  • electric circuits (difference between series and parallel, solving circuit diagram problems)
 
I will be available for tutoring Wednesday morning before school! 

Due:

Assignment

Watch the tutorials that are linked here. These will give you much more detail about series and parallel circuits. Each is about 30 minutes long, so make sure you will have a good connection before starting each video. The link also takes you to a note taking guide for each episode. If you wish, you could print out the note taking guide and follow along using that! It would be a great way for you to be actively engaged in the lesson!
 

Due:

Assignment

Extra Credit Opportunity: As will be discussed in class. 
 

Go to the following website: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/pos/animations/kepler.html. I have had the best success with these in Chrome

Follow through the instructions on the slides distributed in class, making sure to THOROUGHLY answer each question asked of you. The questions are differentiated by font: All questions are in Marker Felt. This assignment is due on Monday, 4 May. Late work WILL NOT be accepted

Be prepared to answer follow up questions about the assignment and the animation, in order to prove that YOU actually completed the assignment, and did so individually.

 

Due:

Assignment

Complete pgs. 13 and 14 in the worksheet packet

Due:

Assignment

1. Complete the Roller Coaster Analysis Sheet. This is to be turned in INDIVIDUALLY by each student. 
Make sure to read ALL INSTRUCTIONS before proceeding! Completing the form is a homework grade!
 
Reminder: A help session for the Roller Coaster Analysis Sheet is going to be held on Wednesday morning starting at 7:20. Remember that this is a big grade and will be graded for CORRECTNESS. Get help early if you think you'll require it!  

Due:

Assignment

COPY NOTES for pgs. 1-4 of your note taking guide! Make sure to copy the notes into your NTG. These files will NOT be online for very long. Get the information while you still can!

Due:

Assignment

NOTE: DATE CHANGE
 
Complete the Roller Coaster Webquest. 
 
Go to the link below and complete the questions on that webpage on the sheets which were distributed in class. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN PAPER! Each subject heading on the webpage is hyperlinked to an external page in which you can find the answers. 
 
We will go over instructions more thoroughly in class next week, but if you wish to get started before then and get confused, just shoot me an email this weekend and I'll be happy to help you out!
 
 
ALSO. DON'T FORGET TO BRING IN TAPE (as in, LOTS!), RULERS, and SCISSORS! 
 
 

Due:

Assignment

 
From each group we need the following: 
Person 1: Wide Turn: (2)
Person 2: Sharp Turn: (2)
Person 3: Funnel: (1)
Person 4: Loop: (1) 
Person 5: Loop: (1) 
 
IF YOU ARE IN A GROUP WITH MORE THAN FIVE PEOPLE, DOUBLE UP ON WHATEVER ELEMENT(S) YOU FORSEE YOURSELF NEEDING THE MOST! So...FOR EXAMPLE, perhaps you want to do the following:  
 
Person 6: Funnel (1)
Person 7: Sharp Turn (2)
 
HAVING MORE THAN FIVE PEOPLE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN SIMPLY SPLIT UP THE REQUIRED ELEMENTS! You cannot say, "Okay, one person will make one turn and the other person will make the second". 
 
You can also choose to make more columns and/or diagonal supports. If you make those, I expect 4 diagonal supports and 6 columns per person. 
 
These elements are expected to be completed (taped and ready to go) by the time you walk into class tomorrow. If you fail to have your work completed at that time, you will earn a ZERO for that assignment. 
 
Email me before 7:00 PM if you have any questions.

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing break and are enjoying the cooler, less rainy weather this afternoon. 
 
I know it's difficult to accept the fact the break is, indeed, coming to an end, but alas...I wanted to give you a heads up about our first homework assignment that we will have when we return to school. We will discuss this more tomorrow, of course, but since the assignment is an ONLINE assignment, I wanted to allow you time to make sure everything is squared away on your computers at home! We are going to make an effort to me more ecologically responsible in this class, and part of that will come from minimizing the amount of paper that we use! And if not, or if you are worried that you will have ANY technical difficulties whatsoever, that will leave you two days in which to request a paper copy of the questions! Remember, it is your responsibility to get a paper copy of the assignment if you aren't able to complete it online! NOT HAVING INTERNET ACCESS is NOT an excuse for not completing an assignment! 
 
The assignment is:
