Physical Science A

Test Today.  Open up examview and get logged in.


I will check your binders today if you have them ready.

When finished, work on the vocabulary for the second unit on forces.

Physical Science B

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?

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

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

Hand out and explain the simple circuit labs.

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