My Science Project: Electrical Circuitry Name ________________________________________Objective: For this project, you will demonstrate knowledge and application of the physical science of circuitry by:1. Creating an organized workbook that clearly shows the various activities you have completed in your research of circuitry.2. Completing reading assignments that provide information about the topic of circuitry.3. Completing written assignments and self-tests that demonstrate comprehension of the principles of circuitry.4. Completing at least 4 experiments or hands-on activities per week that demonstrate your ability to apply the principles of circuitry.5. Demonstrating your ability to learn by independently (by yourself) by selecting, completing, and organizing materials from provided resources.6. Presenting the results of your research project in an informative manner to a group of people you select.1. Locate paper, pencils, a binder, and other materials that will you will use to create your well-organized, attractive research workbook.2. Review the provided listing of resources. Put a checkmark beside each that you find most appealing for your interests and for learning as much as possible as you can about circuitry. 3. Discuss each of the resources you have selected with your parents to decide which are best for your family and your learning.4. With your parents, decide how you will get any of the materials you need, including downloadable and online materials and materials for experiments and hands-on activities.5. Using the provided template, create a calendar that clearly shows what work you do each day on your project.RESOURCESLook at each resource. Put a check by each that you will use (even if you will use only part of it)_____1. Go to Print out and complete some or all of the 33 page unit on circuitry. Insert written work in your workbook.______2. Order and complete at least 1 experiment each day in the following kit: . Be prepared to present and explain at least 5 experiments to your classmates, friends, and/or family. Presentation will include:a. Your introductionb. An explanation of why your chose this particular experiment to demonstrate to the groupc. A description of the main steps in the experimentd. A description of which parts of the experiment were the most difficult or complicatede. A description of what you learned from the experimentf. A description of how this experiment can be used in the real worldg. A conclusion that summarizes the main concepts in your presentation______3. Make a graphite circuit. See how at . Materials needed: papergraphite pencil - make sure they are art pencils!foil9v batteryledstape Share materials with 3 or more other people. Have each make different graphite circuit. Have each sign their circuit and include in your research workbook. _____4. Go to . Complete the unit on electrical circuits. Print and include in your research project workbook. (Some materials needed)______5. Complete at least one science fair project related to circuitry from Science Buddies. One example is building a crystal radio (only works if you are in an area with a strong AM station – check it out first). This requires materials that can be purchased in a kit at the site. There are many projects around circuitry that you could consider from this site but all require materials; some don’t have complete instructions and are meant to be teacher led. . Play an interactive online game about circuitry with some of your friends or family at . In your research journal, do the following:a) describe the game in not less than 3 sentencesb) Using at least 2 sentences, explain the most difficult part of the gamec) describe the 3 things to do that will help someone win the gamed) describe 3 things you learned from the game______7. Print out the images at . Using a large piece of poster board, make a poster that could be hung in a clasch sroom. a) Label each image so people looking at the poster will know what each image is about. b) Under each image, write a question about the image that will make people think about the image. c) On the back of the poster, provide the answers to the questions.______8. Pretend you are teacher for a day. Use the slideshow at . Notice that the kind of information a teacher would say about each slide is provided on the site. Convene a group of your choosing (family, friends, classmates, etc.) Teach them about circuits using these materials. As another option, you may teach using these materials, and have someone record your teaching presentation. Afterwards: Write a paragraph that tells the following (be sure to include it in your workbook):a) How you felt being the teacherb) What you learned about circuitry by teaching itc) How you would make this lesson more interesting. d) How you would check to see if your “students” learned anything from your instruction______9. Watch one or more of the videos from the following selections:a) ) ) ) ) For each video, write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences to include in your workbook, that explains the following:a) The subject of the videob) 2 of the most important points made by the videoc) 1 new thing you learned from the videod) Your opinion of the video (i.e. was it well made, was it interesting, was it too easy or too hard for you to understand, would you show it to others, etc.)_____10. Complete each of the provided puzzles that use electrical vocabulary: word search, word scramble, crossword puzzle. Place them in your workbook.My Learning CalendarName_____________Electrical Circuitry ProjectDate:___________________What I did today: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Date: ___________________What I did today: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Date:___________________What I did today: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Date: ___________________What I did today: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Date:___________________What I did today: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ................
