Physical Science B(Wed.)

Bellwork:
    1.  Explain the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit

    2.  What happens to the resistance within a parallel circuit when items are added?  What happens if they     are added in series?

    3.  Consider a situation where the three items where hooked up in a circuit but you had no knowledge of     how they were connected.  If you tested and found that the voltage at each device was the same, what     type of circuit would it be?  If you instead found that the current was the same for each device, what type     of circuit would that show we had?  What methods could you also employ to determine what type of circuit     was present?


Objectives:
1.  Understand and explain the difference between series and parallel circuits.

Check and go over the circuit diagrams.  Use the whiteboards. Discuss the results.

Hand out and explain the simple circuit labs.  You will be assigned to groups.

HW:  Pick-up and work on the Ohm's law problems.

Physics (Wed.)

No Bellwork Today.

Test over electricity.

When you have finished, please read chapter 14, take notes on the chapter.  Please answer the questions on page 386 (q's 15-26).

We are going to begin our discussion of waves, sound, and light.
