This week in Physics we will continue looking at circuits by finalizing our work with series circuits and expanding our view to include parallel circuits and, by the end of the week, compound circuits. We will complete homework 2 in class on Monday followed by a quiz on Tuesday or Wednesday over podcasts 3 and 4 and homework 2. By Tuesday you should watch podcast 5, and by Wednesday watch podcast 6. We will do a virtual lab on parallel circuits and do homework 3 in class, followed by a quiz on Thursday or Friday.

This week in Conceptual Physics we will begin our exploration of electric circuits. This is a very fun unit in which you’ll get to build circuits and find out about the foundation of our technological world! You should watch podcast 1 by Monday when we will do homework 1 in class, followed by a quiz on Tuesday or Wednesday. We will do a virtual lab on Tuesday, and you should watch podcast 2 by Wednesday so that you can do homework 2 in class. We will have a quiz over these on Thursday or Friday, when we will also do another virtual lab.
