PLEASE USE GOOGLE CLASSROOM FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENTS-

Magnetic forces are affected by the magnitude of electric current present in the interaction [Electromagnets – electric current can induce magnetism in metal]
Magnetic forces are affected by the distance between the interacting objects
Magnetic forces are affected by the relative orientation of the interacting objects
Magnetic forces are affected by the magnitude of the magnetic strength of the interacting objects
Electric forces are affected by the magnitude and signs of the electric charges on the interacting objects
Electric forces are affected by the distance between the interacting objects
Electric forces are affected by magnetic forces [Generator – moving magnets can induce current in wires]
Forces are present when two objects interact
When two objects interact at a distance, each object exerts a force on the other that causes for energy to be transferred to or from an object
In order to move attracting objects further apart, a force must be applied and energy is transferred into the system
In order to move repelling objects closer together, a force must be applied and energy is transferred into the system
Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
Proportional relationships (e.g. speed as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken) among different types of quantities provide information about the magnitude of properties and processes.

  • Lesson 7: Conservation of Energy-
  • When the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from that object
  • The total energy of a system is conserved
  • Energy may transform from one form of energy to another
  • The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant- In other words the amount of Energy that is started with remains the same within the system. There is no energy gained or no energy lost.
  • Energy may take different forms (e.g. energy in fields, thermal energy, energy of motion).

Lesson 7: Conservation of Energy-

Writing support for Energy Transfer and Energy Transformations.

ASSIGNMENT #1

Make sure to write your answers (locations) down on your document included here by “Making A Copy” to your Google Drive so that you may type your answers to submit.

Below your diagram- Compose an explanation to the following:
Use the Law of Conservation of Energy- Explain why the skater cannot travel higher up the track than where they started.

The following video will support your ability to accurately analyze and describe in WRITING.

Static Electricity VS Current Electricity- Video link below

2 types of Electric Circuits- Video

Activity-

TASK 1

1. Can you get the light bulb to light?–click here

http://www.physics-chemistry-interactive-flash-animation.com/electricity_electromagnetism_interactive/simple_circuit.htm

The system was made of:

1. 3 wires

2. 2 alligator clips

3. 1 battery

4. 1 light bulb and holder

5. 1 light switch and holder

Draw, color and label this SERIES CIRCUIT system in your notebook. 

Write and answer these 6 questions in your notebook.

  1. List at least 2 inputs.
  2. List at least 2 outputs.
  3. The energy that turns the light bulb on is coming from
  4. Chemical energy from the ? is transferred into ? energy
    and ? energy.
  5. The model used is ??.
  6. The boundaries of the system are: ?

TASK 2CREATE A PARALLEL CIRCUIT

(Use the video above to learn how a Parallel Circuit works)

Interactive link to create a Parallel Circuit-

http://www.physics-chemistry-interactive-flash-animation.com/electricity_electromagnetism_interactive/components_circuits_association-series_parallel.htm

Draw, color and label this PARALLEL CIRCUIT system in your notebook

TASK 3 WORD BANK AND DEFINITIONS

Match the 6 terms with the definitions:

TERMS-
Models – Outputs – System – Inputs – Energy- Boundary

DEFINITIONS-

1. _______All of the items included in a System

2.________ A collection of objects that interact and/or influence one another. These objects often work together to answer a question or solve a problem. They are often represented by models, which uses boundaries, inputs, and outputs to describe what is and is not part of this. (e.g., the electric generator can be considered in this).

3._________Anything that goes into the system from outside its boundary (e.g., energy supplied by one’s hand to turn the nail and the magnets in the electric generator).

4. ______Anything that crosses the boundary to leave the system (e.g., light energy produced by the bulb and powered by the electric generator).

5. ________Something needed to cause change

6. ________ Simplified representations of systems, objects, ideas, processes, and/or phenomena that help scientists describe, explain, and make predictions. All of these have limitations and built-in inaccuracies that scientists need to be aware of.

What scientific knowledge and evidence do we need to explain where and how electricity can be generated?

Gotta Have Checklist

  • How energy can be transformed from one type to another
  • How electricity can be generated using a variety of methods
  • How some energy generation methods have advantages over other methods
  • How some energy generation methods have disadvantages over other methods
  • How “Engaging in Arguments from Evidence” is an important skill for scientists

Learning Performance-

  1. Students will develop questions that can be investigated to explain how electricity is generated.
  2. Students will prepare arguments from evidence regarding potential alternative energy sources.
“Why 2016 Could Be a Turning Point the Energy Revolution” is a video about the past, present, and possible future of energy generation. The focus is on generating energy for electricity (as opposed to transportation or heat), and on renewable energy sources:
