livestream
edx.org - AP C E and M - Module 3 - Current/Resistance/Power - items 3-10 (Topics: Resistivity, Electromotive Force (EMF), Electric Power, Ohm's Law and Electric Power
Friday 3/5/21
no livestream - Spencer absent
Change of plans: Open MasteringPhysics on Chromebook. Read eText sections 27.3, 27.4, and 27.5 (REALLY read these sections).
start work on APCB59 2021 (due Monday 3/8 @ 11:59pm)
Since your assignment is short and not due until Monday night, please REALLY READ sections 27.3-27.5
You have Dynamics Study Module 16 and 17 due Sunday night

please watch Today's Recording below to see what I want you to do. In a nutshell, I am going to do CASTLE but in a SPEED-CASTLE way. Please watch video for today's instructions.
Tuesday 3/9/21
livestream
watched CASTLE Unit 2 Recordings: Recording A , Recording B , Recording C (through )
reviewed details of CASTLE Unit 1 Recording

finished watching CASTLE Unit 2 Recordings: Recording A , Recording B , Recording C (through )
Consensus/Conclusions/New Terms here here
Here are the objectives (unit 3):
a. Identify bulb filaments as parts of circuits that resist charge flow.
b. Use bulb brightness and compass deflection as indicators of flow rate.
c. Distinguish flow rate (amount/sec through) from speed (distance/sec traveled).
d. Use representations tools to show flow rate and bulb brightness on circuit diagrams.
e. Explain how adding series/parallel bulbs will raise/lower “overall” resistance.
f. Describe evidence that connecting wires have much less resistance than bulbs.
C3 Activity 3 (no file...in class demo) ... here is the description: Mark two lines on the floor with masking tape, and select eight students for each of two groups. One group stands side-by-side immediately behind one line as illustrated in Figure A. The other half lines up one-after-another behind the other line as illustrated in Figure B. The teacher will count time out loud. Each group must be prepared to move as instructed because they will have only 1 second in which to move. (Count a rapid “1-2-3-4-5” or “One-thousand-one” for the 1 second count.) or you may assign two students the job of timer: the 1st timer for the side-by-side group, the 2nd for the single file group

Here are the objectives (unit 4):
a. Cite evidence that the mobile charge in a capacitor plate can be compressed.
b . Explain high/low “electric pressure” in terms of the compression/depletion of charge.
c . Cite evidence that a battery creates HIGH and LOW pressure in its terminals.
d . Explain why electric pressure is uniform in any wire, and in connected wires.
e. Explain how a battery and wires create a pressure difference that lights a bulb.
f . Analyze simple circuits by color-coding conducting parts to represent electric pressure.
Monday 3/15/21

discussed 2005 Mech FR Solutions
Here are the objectives (unit 5):
Compare the pressure difference across the long bulb and a round bulb in series.
Explain how steady-state pressure values arise in wires that are not connected to a battery.
Explain why the steady-state flow rate is the same through all resistors in a series circuit.
Describe the transient process by which the steady-state conditions in circuits arise from the initial conditions.
Compare the flow rate through a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel.
Analyze more complex circuits which contain a combination of series and parallel bulbs.
Describe the effect of a battery’s internal resistance on a circuit.
Explain what happens when a wire is placed in parallel with a bulb.

no livestream today
students should work at home on E7-E9. Students should take pictures of work and upload to today's Google Classroom assignment...or upload a pdf of pics from an app like Camscanner (my personal choice). Please use the Google Classroom thread to compare notes/answers on E7-E9. Please hit submit on the Google Classroom assignment when finished.
