11/13 Force diagrams: Two solved problems

Force diagrams, or Free Body Diagrams, are sketches we use in physics to show forces applied to an object or system of objects. Here are a couple of videos I created to help walk you through some complicated problems. I encourage you to pause them as you go through and…Read More

10/22 Identifying circuits that will work

Look at the circuits below. In only one of them will the bulb be lit. Sketch the one circuit that will work, and explain how it is different than the others. Circuit A will not work because the switch is open. Circuit B will not work because the switch is…Read More

10/21: Creating magnets with electricity

In this activity, groups created magnets by creating a circuit that included magnet wire wrapped around a large nail. The results were: The greater the number of wraps around the nail, the stronger the magnet—the more staples it could pick up. To make the circuit work, you need to have…Read More
