Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 12
This class is designed to provide an introduction to Electricity.  Many topics (charge, current, résistance, voltage, electric potential energy, Ohm's Law, Coulomb's Law, Series Circuits, Parallel Circuits, etc.) will be covered over this 5 week class that will give the student a basic understanding of a more realistic representation of how the world works.  Students will have the opportunity to practice what they learn each week.  

This is a self-paced course, meaning that there are no live meetings.  Each lesson, new videos, notes pages, and practice problems will be posted to the classroom.  Students will upload their completed practice problems to the classroom (either scanned or picture taken) for feedback from the teacher.   There will be a discussion thread where students can ask for help from the class and the teacher.  To get the most out of this course, the teacher will provide notes pages with blanks for the students to fill in as they watch the videos.  Students are expected to complete the practice problems before the next lesson as the material builds upon itself.

Each lesson will feature pre-written, fill-in-the-blank notes for each video.  This is to help the students learn how to take notes in a science class.  I have also found over my years of teaching that if students write things down they tend to retain the material better.   

At the conclusion of each lesson, students can submit their work for the lesson to the instructor for feedback on practice problems and lab reports.  The teacher is always be available via message (either in the classroom discussion or private message) and will typically reply within 12 hours, but never more than 24 hours unless extenuating circumstances.  

This course is designed to be completed in 5 weeks, with students completing one lesson every week.

Learning Goals

Students will have a basic understanding of Electricity and Electric Circuits.  This will prepare them for follow on courses in the realm of physics or other sciences.
