New Survey

Could you please take a minute to complete the new survey I have just added. I am really interested in how you use technology. Feel free to post any other thoughts or questions that you might have about technology as well.
On the first survey you can check as many boxes as are appropriate.
Thanks a lot!

Magnetic Fields

We have learned about some of the different ways that electricity is produced; nuclear, fossil fuels, wind, hydroelectric and solar. Most of these ways would not be possible without an understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

Go to the following active art site to learn more about magnetic fields. Don't forget to complete the quiz.

When you are done with the Active Art site, get two bar magnets from Mr. Honer and complete the same investigation with the real thing.

When you are done, return to this blog and post a response (as a group) to the following question:

Why do you think an understanding of magnetic fields might be important to creating electricity?
