Electricity and Circuits by Martin Binhammer https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd Don't be shocked by what you learn en-us 2018-03-03 22:52:33 UTC 2025-09-24 02:07:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Station 1.Organize It. binhammerm https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237746696 1. Take time to play the match game. You may want to practice before hand.
2. Please take out your index cards and copy down 9 of the 15 index cards from this link.
3. Record your best time on 1 final index card.]]> 2018-03-04 01:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237746696 Station 2. Watch it. binhammerm https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237747007 1. Watch the short video on circuits.
2. Answer the questions from below as you watch the video.
2a. Can electricity move across only one or multiple pathways? 
2b. What does a light bulb do to the flow of electricity?
2c. What do scientists call circuits that have more than one path to travel?
2d. Which circuit do you think would still have a light bulb on if the other burned out? Why would you say that]]> 2018-03-04 01:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237747007 Station 3. Practice It. binhammerm https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237747893 1. Watch the short video to see how to property set up several examples of Ohm's Law. 
2. Using what you have just learned try solving the following problems.

1. Given a 9 volt battery in a circuit with a total current of 3 amps what is the resistance across the circuit?
2. Dallas decided to hook 5 car batteries together to power his Christmas lights this year. The total resistance from all his decorations is 200 Ohms. What is the current flowing to bring holiday cheer to his neighbors?
3. If a circuit has a current of 1.5 amperes and and a resistance of 20 what is the total voltage of the battery connected to it?
4. You hook up 4 AA batteries together. Each battery has 1.5 v in it. What resistance would you need to have a current flow of .5 amps?
5. Bonus: If a circuit has a voltage of 240 v and a total resistance of 120 Ohm's with 5 resistors what is the current if the switch of the circuit is open?

a. What analogy was used in the article to explain voltage? 
b. How many electrons are passing through a circuit per second?
c. In a circuit, explain what a load is and give an example.
d. Thinking critically, why would it be important to add a resistor or a large set of resistors to a circuit?]]> 2018-03-04 02:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237748952 Station 5. Illustrate it. binhammerm https://padlet.com/binhammerm/5ithjdhu0jwd/wish/237749982 1. At this station I want you to use the picture from below and I want you to create your own circuit diagram.

2. You must include all the following components: Wire, at least 1 battery, 3 resistors, 2 light bulbs, and a switch. 

3. If you have completed station 3 already pretend your battery has 15 volts of power and each resistor and light bulb has 2 Ohms of resistance. What would be the Current through your circuit?
