Static Electricity

Today we began our short post-Easter-break week by reviewing our 27th week of news articles.  Students then received their chapter 8 packets on electricity.  We reviewed section 8-1 and 8-2 notes on subatomic particles and static electricity.  I demonstrated the conductivity of different materials using a Van de Graff generator, a machine that produces a constant static electric charge.  In periods 2 & 3, we had enough time to watch the http://www.brainpop.com/ video on static electricity, but we ran out of time in periods 5, 6 & 7.
No homework was assigned.
