Circuit Building Challenge
In pairs or individually, you must construct each of these circuits in either the DC circuit simulator or with real lab equipment. After you have completed a circuit, take either a screenshot or photo of your setup and record it in a blog.
1. A circuit with 1x Light Bulb, 1x Power Supply, 1x Voltmeter, 1x Ammeter.
2. A parallel circuit with 2x Light Bulbs, 1x Switch that turns one bulb off/on, 2x Ammeters at two different points in the circuit.
3. You must design a circuit that could be used in a hallway with a light bulb in the middle. The hallway needs a switch at each end that can both turn on the light, as well as turn it off. Each switch should be able to work this way by itself.
DC Motor Building Challenge
In pairs or individually, you must construct each of these circuits in either the DC circuit simulator or with real lab equipment. After you have completed a circuit, take either a screenshot or photo of your setup and record it in a blog.

Introduction to Forces and Motion: Newton's Laws
Create a POSTER that summarises Newton's Three Laws and include a picture of Newton demonstrating examples of his laws. Below are some video resources that may help....
Create Activities:
Egg Drop - Model Helicopters - Wind Racers - Catapults/Trebuchet/Ballista - Tensegrity Structure Link 2
Paper Planes - Popsicle Stick Reaction - Reaction times test: Website #1 and Website #2
Hot Air Balloons - Lego: Pneumatic Press/Chair or Hydraulic Syringes
Each week you will need to blog in Scientific Method format about each of the experiments completed.
This means a: Aim, Hypothesis, Equipment, Method, Results, Conclusion, Discussion. Think about how your findings can be related to others and the world around you?
