Introduction to Circuits and Ohm's Law

(View Complete Item Description)

Students explore the basics of DC circuits, analyzing the light from light bulbs when connected in series and parallel circuits. Ohm's law and the equation for power dissipated by a circuit are the two primary equations used to explore circuits connected in series and parallel. Students measure and see the effect of power dissipation from the light bulbs. Kirchhoff's voltage law is used to show how two resistor elements add in series, while Kirchhoff's current law is used to explain how two resistor elements add when in parallel. Students also learn how electrical engineers apply this knowledge to solve problems. Power dissipation is particularly important with the introduction of LED bulbs and claims of energy efficiency, and understanding how power dissipation is calculated helps when evaluating these types of claims. This activity is designed to introduce students to the concepts needed to understand how circuits can be reduced algebraically.

Why Does Ice Float in Water?

(View Complete Item Description)

Water is a special substance for several reasons, and you may have noticed an important one right in your cold drink: ice. Solid ice floats in liquid water, which isn't true for most substances. But why? George Zaidan and Charles Morton explain the science behind how how hydrogen bonds keep the ice in your glass (and the polar ice caps) afloat.

Angles

(View Complete Item Description)

In plane geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.[1] Angles formed by two rays lie in a plane, but this plane does not have to be a Euclidean plane. Angles are also formed by the intersection of two planes in Euclidean and other spaces. These are called dihedral angles

E- Content Development.pptx

(View Complete Item Description)

E-Content is very important in the present scenario. It will be helpful to the teachers and students for a better understanding of the subject matter. Every teacher must use e-content package for their subject matter in order to provide multi media experiences to the learner E-content is the package of data in electronic digital format. It is a form of knowledge or content which is packed in an electronic form. It includes text, video, audio, graphics, animation etc., An innovative application of computer in the field of the teaching learning process is called e-content. It is the advancement of technology to design, deliver, administer, select and extend learning.

The Art and Accessibility of Music (Advanced Level)

(View Complete Item Description)

Students will learn about the jazz singer Billie Holiday and the sociohistorical context in which she performed. They will learn how discriminatory statutes (called Jim Crow laws) affected daily life. They will also analyze how movement is created in photographs and the effect of a photographer's point of view on composition. Finally, students will photograph a musician, paying attention to what can be communicated through point of view.
