Electric Potential Slides
Updated presentation focusing on Electric Potential (Voltage) instead of Electric Fields. Includes the Hill/Topography analogy, units (Volts), potential difference (\(\Delta V\)), and the connection to grid transmission.
Chemical Spark Reading
An illustrated reading passage explaining the internal mechanics of a battery, including the anode, cathode, and electrolyte, and how they create a potential difference (voltage). Uses a "Field Guide" aesthetic with technical sketches.
Static to Spark Notes
Guided notes for Lesson 1, helping students capture key concepts about electric potential, the hill analogy, and the role of generators in creating a potential difference for the grid.
Battery Blueprint Worksheet Swapped
A companion worksheet for the Chemical Spark reading passage, featuring component identification, circuit sketching, and critical thinking questions about chemical potential and battery lifespan.
Potential Peaks Activity Revised
A 2-page topography-themed activity that helps students differentiate between electric potential, electric potential energy, and potential difference using a mountain-climbing analogy. Includes calculations and conceptual matching.
Daily Grid Dashboard Slides
A high-visibility "Today" board slide for the start of the unit. Includes the entry protocol, essential question, and daily agenda with a clean, industrial grid aesthetic.
Potential Concept Check MCQ
A Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) check for understanding based on the 'Electric Potential V' lecture. Covers the distinction between potential and energy, the units (J/C), source vs. test charges, and the technical definition of Voltage.
Potential Peaks Answer Key
Detailed answer key for the Potential Peaks activity, including step-by-step calculations for electric potential energy, explanations of the critical thinking questions, and matching solutions for the synthesis section.
Potential Peaks Activity Revised V2
Updated Potential Peaks activity with a more prominent label for Point B, the potential value clearly displayed, and the point charge potential formula (V=kQ/r) added to the mission briefing.
Potential Concept Check MCQ Final
A Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) check for understanding based on the 'Electric Potential V' lecture. Covers the distinction between potential and energy, the units (J/C), source vs. test charges, and the technical definition of Voltage. Now with standardized A/B/C/D labels for better readability.
Potential Peaks Activity Final Swapped
Updated Potential Peaks activity with a high-visibility label for Point B, explicit potential value display, and an enhanced formula reference box including the point charge potential equation (V=kQ/r) and the energy equation (U=qV).
