T2 W5

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING on applying our knowledge on Electricity by constructing a simple circuit to demonstrate how innovators use planning and collaboration to design prototypes in technology
• We are PLANNING on demonstrating our knowledge of Electricity by constructing series and parallel circuits and hypothesise what our observations will be

Kia ora Yr 9, 

This week we will be catching up on some notes as you only had 1 session of science last week. 

Plan for the week is as follows: 

Monday: EP catch-up on the tasks that were set up as homework and to complement your learning of circuits

Wednesday: Constructing and observing Series and Parallel circuits and drawing the correct electricity diagrams in your books. If finished please work on the circuit worksheet by creating PHET circuit simulations ( link on Google classroom) 

Thursday: Scientific Literacy task assigned. You will also use this session to check-in with your groups re your science fair project. Please note, once again : your science fair deadline has moved to Term 3. You will now need to have your projects ready to be dropped off on the 21st of July in S5 ( Friday). Judging will be on the 24th and 25th of July. 

Success criteria:

•  Know the symbols for electrical components.
•  How to draw a simple circuit (series and parallel).
•  What is current and how is it measured?
