Electromagnetism Day 8

Magnets


Objective
What: SWBAT determine the direction of a magnetic field
How: On an exit slip of released CST questions, students will use the right hand rule to determine the direction of a magnetic field.
Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to understand how magnets work, and the role that they played in history and the modern world.

Agenda:
1. Do Now
2. Brainpop
3. Bill Nye
4. Magnets Reading
5. .ppt Notes
6. Fields practice
7. Exit Slip

Electromagnetism Day 6

Calculating Current

What: SWBAT use the equation for current: I = q/t
How: SWBAT solve released benchmark questions by calculating current with 80% accuracy on an exit slip.
Why: To be critical thinkers, we need to use our knowledge of Ohm's Law and electricity to understand the role that a charge plays in the amount of current in a circuit.

Agenda
1. Do Now
2. Current Notes
3. Current independent practice
4. Current Exit Slip
5. Bill Nye- Computers
