Making+More+Progress+on+our+Project

=Due Friday, May 27 =

1. Obtain information about your topic from our textbook __and__ by going to search engines such as Google. Keep the following in mind for __each section__ as you do your work:

 2. Write about 100-150 words on each of the required topics listed above. Use a word processor to save your work.
 * Use sites that end in .edu, or .gov for the best information. Your sites for information must satisfy this criteria.
 * Make bulleted lists only in the table. You may not use complete sentences. This is to help you avoid accidental plagiarism. When you go to write your rough draft and final copy, you can use your bulleted list as you put the information into your own words.
 *  You need to include at least __three relevant illustrations__ and include an explanation of your illustration in the written work that you post. These may be illustrations you make or some from the web (don't have to end in .edu or .gov; must include citations).
 *  Use either 1 video you find or a video you make to help explain your part of the project. Flip cameras are available for you to use if you need to borrow one. You may also use Photobooth or Quicktime movie to make your video.
 * Include at least one experiment/activity. Your classmates will be doing this experiment/activity. Make sure it adds to the understanding of the content. The activity may be hands-on or a link to one on the web.

3. **Always** do your work in a __processing program__ on your own computer. Then, cut and paste your own written work from your own word processor into the Team Wiki Making Progress on our Project page. If there is a glitch in your connection while you are working, you will not lose your work this way!
 *  Be sure that in all work that you do in this course, that you use entirely, **100%** your own wording. Using your own wording is very important as part of the learning process.
 * As you make your postings, you need to __list a working web page link__ for any locations that you use in getting your information or illustrations. Be sure to list the exact page that you read, not the overall homepage for a website. Also, be sure to write http:// just before the www web address.

 How You Will Be Evaluated:
This assignment is worth 20 points. To receive the points, you need to assist in subdividing the topic within your Team Wiki area, post to the Team Wiki at least 100 words of material that you researched and composed 100% in your own wording, post your illustrations with a relevanat explanation of the illustration, and post any web addresses used in your research, your writing, and illustrations not made by you.

=Let's begin!= Insert your research below. The table will expand as needed. Remember to refer to the objectives on the first page for guidance. You might even want to copy and paste each objective into the table so you can determine who is responsible for each.
 * Name || Topic # || Research || Illustrations ||  ||   ||   || Video || Activity || Source ||

 * Electric Charge: an electrical property of matter that creates electric and magnetic forces and interactions.
 * Electric conductor: a material in which charges can move freely and that can carry an electric current.
 * Electrical Insulator: a material that does not transfer current easily.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f43434; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Conductors allow electric charges to move freely.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f43434; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Insulators don't allow electric charges to transfer easily.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f43434; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Electric charge builds up when two objects touch and move across each other.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f43434; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">An electrical force for example: “An attraction of tissue paper to a negatively charged comb and the repulsion of the two balloons are examples of electric force.” When two things are charged differently, one positive and one negative, they attract.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f43434; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A positive electric field will have lines(from page 535 in the textbook) will have lines pointing out around the positive charge itself. A negative force field will have all the lines point towards the negative charged particle.
