Week+3

=Welcome to Gateway to Technology - Magic of Electrons - Period 2=

Tech Plan for Week of January 17 - January 21 (Week 3)
This week we'll complete our first unit on the properties of Electricity as we investigate static and current electricity. We should move into our next unit on Electromotive force at the end of the week as we investigate electricity's capacity to do work. We'll start the week with a brief lesson on the safe use of soldering irons as we learn how to properly solder a variety of wires together. We'll also complete the construction of our telegraph key and the new "styrofoam speaker" activity to finish out our electromagnetism lesson. We have a lot of building to do going forward, since the electric motor and generator builds are scheduled for next week. Come to class ready to build something!
