Agenda (in “Sally”) – February 7, 2013 Check p. 71 signature AND hand in reading assignment Investigating common classroom electronics – 7 stations Station #1 – Printer Watts – predict before turned on – Watts – predict after turning power on What do you notice about cost? What else do you notice? Station #2 - Fan Station #3 - DVD/VCR stereo Station #4 - Refrigerator Station #5 – Air Purifier Station #6 - SMART board Station #7 - Grow Light “Sally” page 74 – For each station answer the following: Watts – predict before turned on – Watts – predict after turning power on What do you notice about cost? What else do you notice? AIM: Students will apply their knowledge of electrical energy and the Watt by using common electronics to clarify their understanding of electrical energy

Agenda (in “Sally”) – February 11, 2013 Review and grade the James Watt reading assignment – 15 minutes Follow the rubric for each section (2 points – Got it 1 point – Tried it 0 points – Nope) 7 sections X 2 points = 14 points for a PERFECT score!
