Online Assignment: Electricity!

We'll be studying 2 things this morning:
(1) Static Electricity: Fun tricks with balloons, small shocks, and lightning!
(2) Electromagnetism and Michael Faraday: How we generate electricity using turbines

Static Electricity:

1. First, watch this video. Study it carefully and take bullet-point notes on your static electricity note-taking sheet. Be sure to draw a picture that shows the charges on the Rice Krispys and on the record. Be sure to explain how those charges happen and what the attraction is.

2. Then watch the videos in the Static Electricity folder in Bragg Saving>Science Folder. Continue to take bullet point notes and draw pictures. REMEMBER: You'll need to pause the video when you do so!

Electromagnetism:

1. Next, study this animation. Take bullet-point notes on your electromagnetism note-taking sheet. Be sure to draw a picture of how the magnet spins inside the coil of wire-- label it clearly! Then you can play the game afterwards. Mcgraw-Hill: How a Generator Works
2. Finally, watch the videos in the Electromagnetism folder in Bragg Saving>Science Folder. Continue to take bullet point notes and draw and label pictures. Focus on the connection between electricity and magnetism-- one creates the other and visa versa! REMEMBER: You'll need to pause the video when you do so!

When you are all done, file your work in your Science Binder. Then you may work on your writing until it's time to switch activities.
