We will be working on our "Designing and Electrically Wiring Your Dream House" on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday will be a review of the five sections on electricity for our test on the following Monday (March 2). Friday we will continue with the Mystery Class and going outside to start an ongoing study of shadows as related to the movement of the sun across the sky. So the homework and DUE dates are as follows:
Tuesday, Feb. 24: Along with an adult member of your family, find out the following:
- Is the circuits in your home protected by fuses or circuit breakers?
- Opening up your fuse box or circuit breaker box, how many circuits do you see?
- Explain the purpose of fuses or circuit breakers in your home.
Friday, Feb. 27: Ancient cultures of course had (what appeared to them) reasonable explanations for the causes of the seasons. In a short paragraph conduct research on this subject: how did they explain the seasons? Some cultures include Chinese, Incan, Mayan, Roman, Greek, Eskimo.
Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
