Electromagnetism Day 1

Intro to Electricity


Objective:
What: SWBAT describe basic properties of electricity.
How: On an exit slip students will describe in words and pictures with a word bank how electricity flows and give an example of a situation where static electricity is building up with 80% accuracy.
Why: To be critical thinkers about the world around us we need to understand how electricity works within all the things that we use in everyday life.

Agenda:

Thermodynamics Day 9

Entropy Day 2 / QUIZ!
Objective
What: SWBAT describe examples of Entropy, and pass the physics quiz!
How: By answering questions and drawing examples of entropy on an exit slip with 80% accuracy, and answer the quiz questions correctly with 80% accuracy. 
Why: To be critical thinkers we must be able to apply what we learn about entropy to real life situations.

Agenda:
1. Do Now
2. Entropy Slideshow, Videos and discussion
3. Entropy Exit slip
4. Quiz!

How does the formation of everything in the universe show that entropy is increasing?






Does entropy always increase when work is done or time passes?
