Finish the notes packet from yesterday first. Then...

Research the good and bad sides of different energy resources.

1. In your ISN, label one page for each energy resource you learned yesterday.
2. Half of each page is for the benefits (include sketches!)
3. Half of each page is for the disadvantages (include sketches!)
4. You will get to use your ISN during tomorrow's Energy Debate Game!

• 1st, 2nd, and 7th period - Find at least three good and three bad things for each resource
• 3rd and 6th period - Find at least four advantages and four disadvantages for each resource

2/6/15:

Write a one page essay describing what you have learned about magnets, electricity, and how the two relate to potential and kinetic energy. You may use any resources you have (ISN, study guide, things from this website, etc.). Turn it in to Ms. Deckard when you are finished.

2/5/15:

Take notes from the following BrainPOP videos. Turn the captions on and the sound off if you don't have headphones.

LOGIN INFO

• Electromagnetic Induction
• Electromagnets
• Magnetism

You may use these notes on the following quiz. Number your paper 1-10. It is multiple choice. It will stop moving by itself if you click the pause button.

2/4/15:

• Choose one of the first 4 videos in the video section to use for your Rube Goldberg paper.
• Answer the first three questions.
• Sketch part of the video machine in the sketch area.
• On the back... highlight or circle the forms of energy your design uses.
• Then describe 5 transfers or transformations in the paragraph section.
• Each sentence needs three parts: Describe the action, identify if it is a transfer or transformation, describe supporting evidence.

Example: The ball rolling downhill is a transformation because the gravitational potential energy is changed into kinetic energy.

2/3/15:

After checking that everything previous has been completed...

Go to the Files section and complete the three items in Energy Part 2 folder (two games one quiz)

2/2/15:

Make sure you have fully completed and turned in all quizzes and assignments from last week (Jan 26-30). If you are not 100% sure, please do it again. The higher grade will be recorded.

After this is done, you may click here: Flippity Game. Take notes from the game!

1/23/15:

You need to complete the PhET Energy Skate Park Lab in the Energy Part 1 folder (this is an Assessment grade!) and upload it to me or print out your final answers and turn it in to Ms. Deckard.

To download it: Click here to be taken to the Files section of my website. Download the file to your H:/ drive. Make sure you change the file name to include your first and last name.

(This is just a screenshot)

To upload it: Click this link and use the password hopper055. Follow the onscreen instructions to select and upload your file.

After that, you have TWO short quizzes to complete:

1. PhET Energy Skate Park Quiz <-click the link
2. Potential and Kinetic Energy Quiz <-click the link

No, it doesn't matter if you think you have already done this. I still need you to complete ALL these tasks!
