Physics: Electricity

Circuits:

1. PhET Simulation: Build a Circuit
2. Critical Thinking Link:
-Build a series and parallel circuit.
-Use the iPads to take photos of each.
-Use those photos and an app like Shadow Puppet or iMovie to make a short video explaining how each type of circuit works.
-Include similarities and differences between the two types of circuits.

Example:

Student Video About Circuits

Static Electricity:

1. Critical Thinking Link: Predict - What will happen when a charged balloon is held near a stream of water flowing from a tap?
2. Observe.
3. Use the PhET Simulation: Static Electricity and then explain the demonstration using words and diagrams.
