Science 90 - Dec 1

Today in class we continued our notes on circuits and we talked about the two different types of circuits.  We learned the difference between parallel and series circuits as well as how voltage, current and resistance are related in these types of circuits.

We also learned how to do circuit diagrams today.  Circuit diagrams are essential for understanding components in an electric circuit.  We did a couple of examples of circuit diagrams that showed how to draw parallel and series circuits as well as a combination of the 2.  The slides we covered were slides 34-41.  Students then spent the rest of the class working on the circuit diagram worksheet handed on in class.  This is in the Science 90 course notes link.  I will check this tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will finish the notes and then start work on the electric circuits lab.

Here are some videos that can explain how to draw circuit diagrams.  You might want to watch if you had trouble with today's lesson.
