Homework:

QUIZ ON ELECTRIC CHARGE AND ELECTRIC FORCES

  • moved to Friday Morning

  • If you will not be in school you are expected to take it tomorrow.

Lesson:

  1. WATCH THE BRAINPOP ON STATIC ELECTRICITY

  2. STUDENTS CORRECT QUIZ

  3. CLASS DISCUSS QUIZ

SLANT: STATIC CHARGE CONTINUED

  1. ELECTRONS CAN TRANSFER FROM ONE OBJECT TO ANOTHER

    • CONDUCTORS ALLOW ELECTRONS TO EASILY PASS FROM AREAS WHERE THEY ARE CONCENTRATED TO AREAS WHERE THERE ARE RELATIVELY FEW

      • A CONDUCTOR IS ANY MATERIAL WHICH ELECTRONS CAN EASILY MOVE THROUGH

    • INSULATORS DO NOT ALLOW ELECTRONS TO PASS THROUGH THEM

      • AN INSULATOR IS ANY MATERIAL THAT ELECTRONS CANNOT EASILY MOVE THROUGH

    • CERTAIN INSULATORS ALLOW ELECTRONS TO BUILD UPON THE SURFACE OF THEM CREATING A STATIC CHARGE

  2. ELECTRONS CAN BE TRANSFERRED BY CONTACT

    • SOME MATERIALS HOLD THEIR ELECTRONS MORE LOOSELY THAN OTHERS

    • MATERIALS THAT HOLD ELECTRONS MORE TIGHTLY TEND TO "GRAB" AND "HOLD” ELECTRONS FROM THESE

      • adhesion

    • THIS IS HOW OBJECTS DEVELOP A STATIC CHARGE

  2. Students correct quiz

  3. Class discuss quiz

SLANT: STATIC CHARGE Continued

  1. THE STRENGTH OF ELECTRIC FORCES DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF CHARGE and THE DISTANCE between them

    • MORE CHARGE EQUALS MORE FORCE

    • MORE DISTANCE EQUALS LESS FORCE

  2. electrons can transfer from one object to another

    • conductors allow electrons to easily pass from areas where they are concentrated to areas where there are relatively few

      • a conductor is any material which electrons can easily move through

    • insulators do not allow electrons to pass through them

      • an insulator is any material that electrons cannot easily move through

    • certain insulators allow electrons to build upon the surface of them creating a static charge

  3. electrons can be transferred by contact

    • some materials hold their electrons more loosely than others

    • materials that hold electrons more tightly tend to "grab" and "hold” electrons from these

    • this is how objects develop a static charge

  2. take out your lesson outline.

Homework:

no homework.

Lesson:

check lesson outline completion.

Review Lesson Outline - go over front page.

SLANT: static charge

  1. Atoms are electrically neutral when there charges are balanced

    • protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge

    • when the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, the atom is neutral

    • neutral objects do not attract or repel one another

  2. static charge

    • when there is an unbalanced charge on an object

    • gaining electrons creates a negative charge

    • losing electrons creates a positive charge

  3. electric forces

    • an electric field surrounds charged objects

    • this exerts a force on other charged objects

    • when two objects have the same charge, they repel

    • when two objects have opposite charges, they attract

  4. the strength of electric forces depends on the amount of charge in the distance

    • more charge equals more force

    • more distance equals less force
