DAILY SCIENCE QUESTION 3/7/2016 VOCABULARY BOXES (DEFINITIONS ONLY) PG 680 Using your textbook, define the following words: 1. Electricity 2. Circuit 3. Series circuit 4. Parallel circuit 5. Voltage 6. Resistance

STANDARD:S8P5. STUDENTS WILL RECOGNIZE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAVITY, ELECTRICITY, AND MAGNETISM AS MAJOR KINDS OF FORCES ACTING IN NATURE. b. Demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits and how they transfer energy

ACTIVATOR: ENERGY BALL Students will touch fingers completing a chain to and from an “Energy Ball.” Selected students will break the chain to see what happens.

ELECTRICITY Electricity is the energy caused by moving electrons within an atom. Electrical energy is the energy of electric charges.

PARTS OF AN ATOM

LAW OF ELECTRICAL CHARGES Two particles that have the SAME charge REPEL each other. Two particles that have DIFFERENT charges ATTRACT each other.

THE CHARGING OF AN ATOM An object becomes positively charged when it LOSES electrons. An object becomes negatively charged when it GAINS electrons.

CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS An electrical conductor is a material in which charges can move easily. Copper, aluminum, and mercury are great conductors. An electrical insulator is a material in which charges cannot move easily. Plastic, rubber, glass, wood, and air are good insulators

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 3 PARTS TO AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT: BATTERY LIGHT BULB SWITCH Switch (opened)

CIRCUITS A SERIES CIRCUIT has all parts connected in a single loop. There is only one path for charges to follow,. A PARALLEL CIRCUIT is a circuit in which loads are connected side by side. Charges in a parallel circuit have more than one path on which they can travel.

ADVANTAGES/ DISADVANTAGES OF SERIES CIRCUIT THE GOOD Can add more batteries to increase the power THE BAD Cannot control the bulbs individually If 1 bulb goes out, all bulbs go out The more output devices you add, the slower the current

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES OF PARALLEL CIRCUITS THE GOOD If 1 bulb goes out, the rest stay on Brighter bulbs than the series circuit THE BAD Higher fire risk Voltage stays the same throughout Less resistance when there are more outputs

REFLECTION: 1. List the three parts of a circuit 2. Briefly explain what happens when an atom loses and gain an electron 3. explain the difference between a series and parallel circuit

REVIEW: INTERACTIVE CIRCUIT (BUILDING A SIMPLE CIRCUIT) Circuit Construction Kit (DC Only) - Electricity, Circuits, Current – PhET

CLOSING: EXIT TICKET Draw and label a series and parallel circuit. Be sure to include the power source, switch, and bulb.

ITEMS NEEDED MARCH 8 & Daily Science Journal Interactive Notebook Textbook Pen or Pencil Agenda Opening: Key Terms, STEM Challenge Work Session: Building Circuits Closing: Constructed Reponses Quiz Homework: Vocabulary Reinforcement

DAILY SCIENCE QUESTION 3/8 & 3/10 What are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits? Justify your answer in 3-5 sentences using facts and examples.

OPENING: KEY TERMS 1. Electric Current- the rate at which charges pass a given point. Expressed in amps. a. Alternating Currents (AC), the charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction. b. Direct Currents (DC), the charges flow in the same direction. 2. Electric Circuit- closed pathway 3. Electric Discharge- The loss of static electricity as charges move off an object

KEY TERMS CONTINUED… Electric Power- The rate at which electrical energy is changed into other forms of energy Static Electricity- the electric charge at rest on an object

STEM CHALLENGE: TELEGRAPH Students build a working telegraph and encode a message to be sent as if they were in the Civil War times working for Military Telegraph Corp.

STEM CHALLENGE: CYBER ATTACK FLASHLIGHT Cyber Attack resulting in downed power grid. Students build flashlights to help provide light during the blackout.

EDP: Step 1 Can you think of any others? Cyber criminals target many industries and entities.

EDP: STEP 1 Cyber Attacks happen often!

STEM CHALLENGE: BUZZER GAME Rainy day and students have to develop a new board game that uses electrical components.

WORK SESSION: CIRCUITS LAB Students will practice for their STEM Challenge by constructing a simple, series, parallel and complex circuit. Students will be placed into three groups to complete this task.

CLOSING: CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE QUIZ WRITE ONE PARAGRAPH ON THE FOLLOWING PROMPT Explain why people should never touch a high- voltage wire that has blown down in a storm. In your explanation, use the words electric shock, voltage, resistance and short circuit.

3/11/2016 AGENDA Students will get into pairs to work on their Georgia Milestone Review Booklet. Students and their partners will choose a standard that will be retaught to the class. Students will receive a lesson plan template for their standard. Students may choose to do a lab, book club, flexible group activities or PowerPoint presentation with an assignment. Each lesson needs an opening, work session, and closing.
