PTT:
Turn to page 94
Title the page "Graphic Organizer: Charging"
Record the goal: I can explain how materials get electrically charged.
Task 1:
Take notes on page 94 after watching demos
- Demo 1: Charging by Friction
Watch as Ms. Davis rubs her hair with a balloon
- Demo 2: Charging by Conduction (Bill Nye and the Van der Graaf Generator)
- Demo 3: Charging by Induction (Using an Electroscope)
Your completed notes should look like this:
Task 2:
Watch Bill Nye "Static Electricity"
Week 2, Day 2
PTT:
1) Turn to page 95
2) Title it: Summing Up Static Electricity
3) Record the goal: I can explain what static electricity is and how it works.
4) Divide the page in half so there is a top half and a bottom half.
Task 1:
Watch this video to review static electricity and clear up any confusion.
Task 2:
Answer these static electricity questions on the TOP HALF of the page. Don't write too big or you won't have enough room. Use your notes, the video above, and this website to help you answer the questions.
1) Why can electrons be transferred between objects, but not protons?
2) When does a piece of matter have a charge? [hint: look back at the after picture on page 92]
3) What happens if two objects have the same charge?
4) What happens if two objects have different charge?
5) What happens when you rub one object with another object? Describe using a specific example, and make sure the word "electron" comes up in your answer.
6) What kind of objects give up electrons easily?
7) What kind of objects pick up electrons easily?
Task 3:
On the bottom of the page, write a paragraph to explain what static electricity is and how it works. Use the following terms: static electricity, positive, negative, charge, charging, discharge, friction, induction, conduction, electrons, attract, repel, electric field, law of conservation of charge
Closure:
Take a picture of this with your computer, make sure it's flipped to be readable, and insert it into a Google document/picture. Make sure this is in your science folder to be graded.
Week 2, Day 3
PTT:
1) Turn to page 96
2) Record the title - "What is current electricity?"
3) Write the date in the top left corner: "W2, D3" (for week 2, day 3)
4) Record the goal: "I can explain the difference between static electricity and current electricity."
5) Divide the page into 4 boxes.
Task 1:
1) Turn to page 87 (this is the unit title page for light and electricity - we will have 5 different pictures representing electricity by the end of the unit)
2) Draw an image the represents static electricity and how it works. Color in the picture (I would also suggest using different colors for electrons/negatives and protons/positives). Include a brief description.
Our goal is that at the end of the unit we have a title page that looks something like this one:
Task 2:
Watch this video. Keep this guiding question in mind as you watch:
Question: The video mentions static electricity briefly, but what is the other kind of electricity it mentions?
Task 3:
Complete the "Bulbs, Batteries, and Wires" probe - this is our pre-assessment for current electricity
Task 4:
1) Record this definition in BOX 1: Current electricity is electrical energy caused by the flow of electrons/electric charges, which can be used to produce light, heat, sound, and chemical changes. Current is measured in "amps" (amperes).
2) Highlight the phrase "current electricity" so it stands out on the page.
3) Think about: how is this different from static electricity?
Task 5:
1) In BOX 2: write a sentence that explains the difference between static and current electricity. Sentence starter: Current electricity is different from static electricity because...
2) Draw an image of static electricity and an image of current electricity to show how they are different.
Task 6:
1) Title BOX 3: Exploring Voltage
2) Different electrical devices around you use different voltages. Some voltages are relatively safe and others are not. Research five electrical devices around your home or classroom to see what voltage they use. What is the highest voltage you found? What is the lowest voltage? Put your list in your notes. Draw and color images to represent the items.
3) Think about: what is voltage?
Closure/Homework:
1) Title BOX 4: Voltage
2) Record this definition: Voltage is the potential difference in electrical charge between 2 points. It makes electrical current move. Current flows from high voltage to low voltage. More voltage = more current flowing.
3) Highlight the word "voltage"
4) Draw two images that represent voltage.
The positive (+) end of the battery is 1.5V and the negative (-) end is 0V, so there's a potential difference of 1.5V.
Week 2, Day 4
PTT:
Open your notebook to page 90. Look over page 90-95. We will start the quiz in 7 minutes.
Task 1:
Complete the static electricity quiz. You have 30 minutes.
Task 2:
Go through pages 85-96 to make sure they are all up to date and completed. You will turn in your science notebook for me to grade at the end of class.
This is the rubric I will use to grade your science notebook (if you still have the same one from the beginning of the year, it is on page 1 of your notebook.
