Concept Builders - Static Electricity
A Concept-Builder is an interactive questioning module that presents learners with carefully crafted questions that target various aspects of a concept. Each Concept Builder focuses the learner's attention upon a discrete learning outcome. Questions target that outcome from a variety of angles using multiple difficulty levels or varying activities. The following Concept Builders target concepts in Static Electricity.
Activities
🞋︎ Learning Goal: Learning Goal:To use the relationship between Source Charge, Distance, and Electric Field Strength (E) to rank the E values for three locations, to quantitatively compare E values, and to calculate the E value at one location if given its value at another
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use an understanding of the subatomic particle composition of charged and neutral objects in order to identify how an object becomes charged in the manner that it does.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use stated information about how four or more charged objects interact with each other in order to determine the type of charge on the objects.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To describe - in terms of particle movement - the two-step process of charging by induction.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use an understanding of conductors and insulators to predict the extent to which charge will flow when a collection of objects is touched to the ground or another charged object.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use Coulomb's law of electric force to predict the effect of varying charge and varying separation distance upon the electrostatic force between two objects.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use the electric field equations to predict the effect that variations in Q, q, and d would have upon electric field intensity.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use information about the interaction of charged and uncharged balloons in order to conclude the type of charge a specific balloon possesses.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To understand that polarization involves a separation of charge and to explain which way electrons move and how charge distributes itself during a polarization process.
🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use observations from electrostatic tests in order to create a triboelectric series for a collection of materials.
