The End

Well, it is now the last week of school. Here's what's going on:

Monday, May 20th: Your final lab is due. Come turn it in today even if your class period does not meet.

Monday/Tuesday: We are watching the documentary Tim's Vermeer. There will be an extra credit Plickers quiz at the end.

Wednesday, May 22nd: This is the last day to make up or retake a test and to get regular labs checked. This is the last day I will be available to students. It is a half day with periods 1,3,5 only. We will not be doing anything in class.

Thursday, May 23rd: This is the last day to turn in missing homeworks and extra credits. I will not be here, so just leave everything in the basket. I will not be available to help students as I will be working at graduation all day.

Work Time

Weeks of unstructured work time stretch before us. Here are some things you can do:

The Final Lab referenced above is here: Final Lab. It is due May 20th for all classes.

Practice Time

The rest of the week is work time for you to finish all of your homework and to study for the test. You have one last homework, Electricity TIPERs #4, which is due tomorrow. The practice test was also available.

#11

#13

#14

#15 (the reading HW I mention in the video wasn't done this year)

Your test is either Monday or Tuesday. You will have a little time to study before it starts.

Compound Circuits

How do you solve a circuit that has both series and parallel components? That was the topic today. We took notes by solving a problem on the board. Here is the result:

Here is a video that I made a couple of years ago solving this problem.

Whatever time we didn't spend on this problem (which is a lot of time) you were working on two worksheets: Concept-Development 35-2 and Compound Circuits Practice. Whatever you didn't finish in class is homework.

Circuit Breakers

Today we briefly talked about circuit breakers (and fuses) - how they work, why we have them, etc. Most of the day was work time, though. I need you all to get your labs done and checked.

Homework is p.644 #37, 38, 40

Electrical Power

Today we talked about electrical power.

Notes: Electrical Power

Here is the setup for the practice problem:



Homework: Concept-Development 34-2

Solving Series and Parallel Circuits

Today we solved one series and one parallel circuit together on the board:


Then you practiced on your own with the worksheet Series and Parallel Circuits Practice, which is homework if you didn't finish in class.
