In the past we have done much of our learning in this unit through our Shark Lake Project. Click on the link to see more!
We have been addressing many outcomes for this unit through our Sustainable Energy For Mars project.

Interactive Notebook & Doodle Notes
This year we will be using a hybrid of interactive notebooks and doodle notes. All templates that I created are linked above. If I used one that was purchased elsewhere, I have provided the link to the seller's store.
Static vs Current Electricity and Unit Overview
Doodle Note Template for Conductors, Insulators & Resistors from Captivate Science
Measure current and voltage as directed at each of the stations.
A few bugs to work out in this lab still but it was a good start.
Big takeaways:
current is constant in a series circuit
voltage is higher when sources are in series while current is higher when they are in parallel.
voltage across the load will always be lightly higher than voltage across the load.

Did you know that bacteria can help produce electricity? It's true! We constructed some Microbial Fuel Cells to generate electricity. Here is a quick TikTok video to show how to set it up:
