Physical Science B
Bellwork:
    1.  Explain the concepts of voltage, current, and resistance.  When you have finished answering the     bellwork, take a moment and explain this answer to the person next to you.

    2.  What factors affect the resistance of a wire?

    3.  Is resistance in conductors a good thing?  What happens to this energy lost to resistance?

Objectives:
    1.  Understand the factors that contribute to our understanding of electricity(voltage, current, and     resistance).

    2.  Explain what factors affect the voltage, current, and resistance within a circuit.

    3.  Understand and explain the difference between a series and parallel circuit.

Check and go over the Ohm's Law homework and.  Use the whiteboards to check.

Discuss series and parallel circuits.

HW:  Schematic diagrams.  Finish the schematic diagram packet.  We will check and go over these tomorrow.

Secondly, please continue to do your home energy audit.  These numbers are very important and all you have to do is track the time used and not used!

Physics
Go over the difficult questions from the review we worked on yesterday.

Practice Test

Go over the practice test. 

Discuss the physical effects of electricity on the human body.  Glowing pickle activity. 

Review the major points for the test tomorrow. 

HW: Review for the test tomorrow.
