Circuits notes from today
Ohm's Law Lab handout from today
We also drew circuit diagrams and calculated total resistance and current for several different circuits, as well as saw light bulbs with different resistances (wattages) and what happens when they're connected in series with like and different bulbs.
The Ohm's Law lab will be due on Monday.
Tomorrow (Wed) I will teach classes more about using meters to measure voltage, current, and resistance, and we will start our lab (should finish on Thursday).
The first few minutes of Thursday, Mrs. Greene will review answers / solutions to the algebra review quiz and discuss expectations for Honors Chemistry. Bring questions and be ready to go fast!
Homework (due Friday): READ p. 407-413. P. 411#1-3, p. 412#1-2, and p. 413#1-8
We will have a quiz on topics of electricity - electrostatics and electric current - on Tuesday. We will also be starting studies in magnetism and electromagnetism next week. At some point I will be selling batteries (I buy them in bulk) if you would like to have some to experiment with and keep. They are 3 for $1, or 10 for $3 - I don't give out the school provided batteries to students anymore - due to theft and breakage, we have very few and I don't want to limit your studies because I'm trying to be over-vigilant about people stealing/breaking the school's property.
If you are messing with your magnets in another class, they will be confiscated permanently by that other teacher. Don't make it a problem - please don't prevent me from teaching about magnetism in the future.
