Power Generation

This week contains your final assessments!!!! This is your last week to get all caught up and submit any missing work as marks are due on the 22nd/23rd.

Series and Parallel Weekly Work

1. Watch this video on the 2003 power outage that left 50 million people, including those in Ottawa without electricity. Years later, we are still grappling with concerns over the vulnerability of the power grid. This should highlight to you the importance of current electricity in our lives.

2. Read the electric circuits powerpoint notes up to slide 11.

3. Watch the following videos explaining electric circuits, current, and voltage

a) Introduction to electric circuits

b) An explanation of coulombs and voltage

c) An explanation of current

d) An explanation of voltage, how to place a voltmeter in parallel,etc.

e) Introduction to circuit diagrams, batteries, etc.

f) An explanation of open vs. closed circuits

g) An explanation on switches (real life scenario)

h) Video on circuit diagrams; intro into series and parallel circuits.

4. Work on this review of electric circuits

5. Work on this basic circuit diagram worksheet

6. Work on this calculation worksheet on voltage (using V=E/Q) and current (using I=Q/T)

Fill in this table on electricity quantities discussed so far; you will need to fill in new quantities in this table as we go along.

We are starting our last unit: Electricity!!!

1. Watch this short clip as a dangerous example of static electricity.

2. Check out John Travolta getting zapped in this phet simulation. Try to explain to yourself what’s happening, using your understanding of static electricity.

8. Visit the following phet simulation on static electricity, interact with it and answer these questions. Be sure to upload your answers by creating a pdf and linking it in google classroom under: Phet simulation questions.

9. Finish up with these questions on Electrostatics. Upload solutions to google classroom.

I will be created quizzes this week using the Quizizz App. The quizzes will all appear under Weekly Assignments on Google Classroom! Be sure to review your Chemistry notes before taking the quiz!

I will also be posting some short answer questions and probably 2 or 3 quizzes for chemistry this week. Stay tuned. I will update again later today (Wednesday) or tomorrow!

Missing all of you a lot this week!

Continue to submit work on google classroom

Here is the remainder of the work for the Astronomy Unit. Starting next week we will be doing some assessments for both Astronomy and Chemistry so take some time to study up and read over your notes. Also make sure you are up to date on answering assigned questions. I am not sure what form the assessments will take as I am still trying to sort through all the options. Stay tuned!
