I said you'd be going to Edlio to see exactly what you have to do to get good at for the Circuit Unit, Chapter 20. This is why you're here now. The attachment is very important for reasons I explained in class on Tuesday, May 12.

 

Starting Monday May 18, you will be scheduling a time with me to get tested on Circuit solving. It will be small meetings of 1 teacher and 2 students, working in pairs. There will not necessarily be 9 to 10 AM classes on these circuit testing days from May 18 to May 22. I will in the online meeting give you a circuit you've never seen before. You will then explain with your partner to me how you solve for each current. You won't try to use outside references, because I won't give you time to. If you're hesitant or unsure, I'll say, "You're not ready yet, practice more and schedule a later meeting." After predicting the current, you will then build the circuit online on the PhET site (I'll give you power to share your screen with me) and measure the currents properly on the first try. You will earn 100% when your measurement matches your prediction on the first try. This is the simulation version of the Circuit Experiment that I told you about in class. It's a 20 point lab grade. Ideally, these grades will be registered throughout the week of May 18 to May 22. People who have AP tests, just communicate clearly with me, and I'll be flexible in scheduling. But not everyone has AP tests, and for some, there's no reason to wait.

 

Perhaps more importantly for now, the Study Guide. Access it.

 

Arrive at the Class Meeting of Thursday, May 14 armed with the knowledge that these attachments and the assigned task above exists. I will take your solving questions. It's time we follow through on finishing the unit now.

 

And yet another example, as done by me, in the third attachment named "Physics Full Circuit Sample Solution." This isn't to be used until after you did DC Notes Part 4, which are attached elsewhere and are old news.

 

And note, when I say "Zoom doesn't define class," it should be clear that what I mean by that is the substantive content of things like in this posting are the things that define class. YOU define class in how you access and use these resources. An online meeting (as delivered by Zoom or Google or Microsoft products) is your chance to ask me how you're doing on such substantive things.
