    Teaching Strategies and Distributed Guided Practice/Summarizing Prompts:**
    · Current·Current Vs. Voltage
    Voltage is like the pressure in a water hose
    Current (amps) is the amount of water in the hose (Number of electrons)
    A static charge from rubbing your feet on the carpet is about 5,000 volts
    ...

    you ever
    1 Joule / Second (Measures the rate at which energy is used)
    Why does this happen? (Trying to draw to much power through the circuit)
    ...
    A hair dryer is over 1,000 watts
    Why are circuit breakers a good thing? (They help prevent fires from heat build up)
    · CFL·CFL Vs. Incandescent
    100 Watt incandescent = 30 Watt CFL
    We could save 600 million a year if we only used CFL
    ...
    How much could you save per light bulb over a year?
    Run the bulb 6 hours a day
    ...
    = 180 Watts/Day IncandescentWatts/DayIncandescent = 600
    180 Watts X 365 Days = 65,700 & 219,000 Watts
    $5.85 a year or $19.71
    ...
    I have 30 bulbs so I save $415.80 a year
    CFL use less energy because they are more efficient and generate less heat
    · Resistance·Resistance
    Opposition to the flow of current through an object
    Copper has low resistance so we use it for wire because the electrons can break free easily.

    Ask simple recall questions:
    What are common measuring tools (body parts), Why did people use body parts (convenience). What are the problems with this method of measuring (No standard). Ask a student to redefine standard.

    Heartwood- The support for the tree, It is what holds the tree up. The wood is dead but it does not decay inside the tree. It is as strong as steel. The cells of the trees are held together with lignin, which is a chemical glue. Heartwood is what most people buy to make furniture, it has the best looks.
