Circuit Facilitator Guide
A comprehensive teacher facilitator guide for a 5-day instructional cycle on energy in electric circuits. Includes learning objectives, pacing, role-playing scenarios, and differentiation strategies.
Circuit Component Key
A comprehensive student reference sheet containing electrical circuit schematic symbols, fundamental quantities (V, I, R), and their corresponding units.
Current Connections Slides
Visual presentation slides for Days 1-3 of the electricity unit. Covers the dimmer switch phenomenon, fundamental circuit variables (V, I, R), Ohm's Law, and Kirchhoff's Rules with technical diagrams and consistent branding.
Circuit Station Manual
Station-based lab manual for Day 2, adapting the energy transmission inquiry lab. Features three stations focusing on variable resistance, the Junction Rule, and the Loop Rule with clear instructions and circuit diagrams.
Station Data Log
Student lab data recording sheet for Day 2 stations. Provides structured tables for data collection and spaces for calculating resistance and verifying Kirchhoff's rules.
Circuit Mastery Practice
Student mastery worksheet for independent practice on Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Rules. Includes word problems, junction diagrams, and conceptual questions on circuit energy conservation.
Party Light Rubric
Peer review rubric for the Day 4 modeling activity. Students evaluate their peers' series and parallel circuit designs for the party lights challenge, focusing on schematic accuracy, brightness predictions, and reliability.
Energy Conversion Lab
A lab document featuring a reading passage on energy conversion, a hands-on activity with a DC motor, and a CER (Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) graphic organizer for final synthesis.
Circuit Logic Quiz
Final unit quiz for the energy in electric circuits lesson. Features multiple choice conceptual questions, Kirchhoff's Rule calculation problems, and a synthesis question revisiting the anchoring phenomenon.
