Teacher Resources for Instructional Planning


HS, Physics Std 40: Apply quantitative relationships among charge, current, potential energy, potential difference, resistance, and electrical power for simple series, parallel, or combination DC circuits.

Lesson Plans: Atomic Theory Rutherford's gold foil experiment, performed in conjunction with Geiger and Marsden, provided evidence for the nucleus due to the scattering of alpha particles. The repulsion of some alpha particles suggested that the nucleus is positively charged, containing protons. Atomic Physics Rutherford's alpha particle bombardment experiment. Coulomb's Law Observe qualitatively the relationship between electrical charge and force. Determine experimentally the quantitative relationship between force and the center to center distance between charged objects. Experience reinforcement of the above concepts through preferred perceptual modes (tactile, kinesthetic, auditory, or visual) through appropriate activities. Build it Yourself The following instructions are for people who want to build the reed switch motor themselves.
