Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

Keep a list of foods you eat in one day. Research (can use videos below) and review the functions of the 3 biomolecules you get in the foods you eat: proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
At the end of the day, write a summary of how nutritious your one daily meal was to your body. Include in your summary the biomolecules missing in this daily meal and what foods you can add to get more biomolecules needed.
Explain the importance of proteins (amino acids) you eat daily relating to the 4th biomolecule, DNA, nucleic acids.

Instruction:
Read StemScopedia Section C.10CD - Molarity - Take notes and answer the questions as you read. When you have finished, write a summary of what you learned.
Activities:
Virtual Lab - Go to the PhET simulation Molarity. Complete the lab by following this procedure: Molarity. You will be asked to make a copy of the Google document in your drive. Save the document with Molarity Lab as the file name. Complete the procedure, recording data and answering the questions on the Google document or notebook paper as you go. When you are finished, submit the completed lab assignment into Canvas or email it to your teacher.
Review:
Complete the Quizizz assignment found here using the join code provided by your teacher.

Focus this week:
When an electrical charge is moving or an electric current passes through a wire, a circular magnetic field is created. (In the following statement, click on iron shavings and compasses to see videos!) This can be seen with iron shavings or filings on a card that will align in the magnetic field when a current is passed through a nearby wire. Using standard conventions for the direction of electric current and magnetic lines of force, the direction of the magnetic field can be determined by what is called the right-hand rule for magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field can be demonstrated by using compasses.
Magnetic field around wire
When a charged particle—such as an electron, proton or ion—is in motion, magnetic lines of force rotate around the particle. Since electrical current moving through a wire consists of electrons in motion, there is a magnetic field around the wire.
This field can be demonstrated by placing fine iron filings or shavings on a car and sticking a wire through the middle of the card. When a DC electrical current is passed through the wire, the iron filings align to show the magnetic field. Iron filings show magnetic fields around the electric wire to the right.
Conventions for electricity and magnetism. Certain conventions are used to determine the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the direction of the current.
Direction of electrical current
Although electrons have a negative (−) electrical charge and move toward the positive (+) terminal in a wire, the convention is that electrical current moves from positive (+) to negative (−). It is an unfortunate choice that was made years ago, but you need to be aware of the convention.
Direction of magnetic field
The convention for a magnetic field is that the lines of force move from north (N) to south (S). We don't know if they move in that direction or not, but it is just a convention that everyone follows.
Right-hand rule for magnetic field
The right-hand rule for determining the direction of the magnetic field is that if you wrapped your right hand around a wire with your thumb pointing in the direction of the electrical current, then your fingers would be in the direction of the magnetic field. See diagram at right.
Verification with a compass. You can verify the direction of the magnetic field by placing one or more compasses on a card and observing their direction.
Note that the current must be DC (direct current), such as from a battery. Otherwise with AC, the direction of the current and magnetic field will alternate 50 or 60 times a second.
Now your assignment:

How do iron filings prove there is a magnetic field around an electric wire?
What are the conventions for electric current and magnetic fields?
What does placing compasses around an electric wire prove?
