WEEK OF:  March 10 - 14
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES:

CHAPTER 18. Electric Current
       Ohm's Law, Resistance and Power
Reading Assignment: 18-2 through 18-4 and 18-6

CHAPTER 19. DC Circuits
Series and Parallel Circuits and Kirchhoff's Rules
         Reading Assignment: 19-1 through 19-3 and 19-6

CHAPTER 20. Magnetism
Magnetic Field and Magnetic Forces 
         Reading Assignment: 20-1 through 20-4
TUESDAY:
TEST: Electric Current and DC Circuits
TUTORIALS: Electricity and DC Circuits

EXTRA CREDIT: Design a Virtual Lab using this simulation
Task: Design and conduct a  DC Circuits lab that includes a
minimum of three lamps or resistors as follows:
- Series Circuit
- Parallel Circuit
- One lamp/resistor in series with two other in parallel
Your report should include:
- Actual screen diagrams of each simulation including all elements
(resistors/lamps, battery, meters, etc.): use the Print Screen feature on the
keyboard and paste into a WORD document.
- Take measurements of Voltage and Current using the meters on the
simulation and include a table of data showing R, V and I.
- Short analysis/calculations of how well the simulation represents
DC Circuits situations (i.e. series, parallel and combination circuits).
This grade will REPLACE the Quizzes grade.
Exceptional activities may earn 10 extra points on the TEST
