*Homework for Monday night!: Read the lesson and answer the 6 questions on your OWN paper

*Homework for Wednesday night!

• Once your Cornell notes are complete on Tuesday, make 7 note cards for your new vocabulary terms and concepts this week.

• On the front of each note card, write the vocabulary word or concept (found on the left side of your Cornell notes from today).

• On the back of each note card, write the definition you’ve copied (found on the right side of your Cornell notes from today).

• You will place your completed note cards on your desk during Thursday’s catalyst for Ms. McGuirk to check off, and you will study your note cards for your quiz on Thursday!

Classwork: Identifying Parts of an Electric Circuit

Instructions: with a partner, take a look at the following examples. Using your knowledge from today’s reading, identify the three basic parts of an electric circuit: (1) the energy source, (2) the wires, and (3) the load.

Example 1: A Lamp

o What is the energy source for a lamp?

_________________________

o Where would you find the wires that the electric current flows through?

_________________________

o What is the load on a lamp?

_________________________

o Into what kind(s) of energy does a lamp change electrical energy?

_________________________

Example 2: A solar-powered Calculator

o What is the energy source for a solar-powered calculator?

_________________________

o Where would you find the wires that the electric current flows through?

_________________________

o What is the load on a calculator?

_________________________

o Where is the “switch” on a calculator that opens/closes the circuit?

_________________________

Example 3: Battery-powered Toy

o What is the energy source for a battery-powered toy?

_________________________

o Where would you find the wires that the electric current flows through?

_________________________

o What is the load of this toy?

_________________________

o Into what kind(s) of energy does a toy change electrical energy?
