  1. Electricity Lab Stations Lab Station Procedures Lab Safety Lab Behavior

  2. At every station… • Materials • Let me know if anything’s missing, run out, broken, etc. • Lab Procedure Packet • Includes reading excerpts Lab Procedures 1. 2. 3.

  3. Prepare for a bad hair day! 9 mini-labs Stay focused! Don’t run out of time! After you finish, experiment more! Clean Up: Everything goes back in the box like you found it. All paper, salt, etc. needs to be picked up off the floor. Balloons go back in the bag. Static Electricity Lab

  4. Conductors and Insulators Lab • Safety: • Wires may be sharp! • Alligator clips can bite! • Braces tester… • Clean Up: • Everything goes back in the box like you found it. • All circuits need to be completely disassembled. • Spills need to be cleaned up.

  5. Electroscope Lab • Muy Fragile! • Gold leaf • Discharging the Electroscope • Be Patient! • Clean Up: • Everything goes back in the box like you found it. • All gold leaf fragments and foil go in the trash. • Balloons go back in the bag.

  6. Currents and Circuits Lab • Safety: • Wires may be sharp! • Clean Up: • Everything goes back in the box like you found it. • All circuits need to be completely disassembled.

  7. If you can’t figure it out… • Keep trying! • There’s more than one way to do most things! Try to figure it out on your own – it’ll stick better! • Ask a table-mate • There’s 20+ of you and one of me! • Ask Ms. Carles • I’m here to help!

  8. Lab Behavior • Stay focused! • Don’t scramble to finish at the last minute. There’s plenty of time if you stay on task! • Be respectful of the materials • Be careful with glassware, wires, etc. • RIP: Sue • Stay seated • Noise
