INVESTIGATION 2: THE ELECTRON SHUFFLE
PART A: MODELING A SIMPLE CIRCUIT
Volunteer to be the battery:
 Volunteer to be the light bulb (how do we know
when the bulb is “on”?)
 Everyone else is an electric charge (electron)in
the circuit
 Arrange yourselves into a complete circuit
 Round 1

ROUND 1 (RECORD IN YOUR NOTEBOOK)



The battery (source of beads)
gave each unit of charge
(student electron) a certain
amount of energy (one
bead).The charge then gave
that energy to the light bulb
(dancing student) who
converted the energy into light,
The charges (student electrons)
continue back to the battery to
get more energy and repeat the
process.

equals one joule of energy for
each coulomb of charge”
Any student receiving a bead
responds “one coulomb of
charge receiving one joule of
energy”
Teacher says “please move
along, one coulomb per second
is one ampere (amp) of
current”
The light bulb says “I just
received one joule of energy
from that coulomb of charge”

ELECTRICITY MODEL: SECTION 1
DQ: HOW DOES ELECTRICITY WORK?
p157
1. Electricity is created when electrons move from one
place to another. Electricity can also be created when
work is done to move a magnet within a coil of wire
(generator)
2. Electrons move to places with less negative charge
(opposite charges attract, similar charges repel)
3. Energy can be transferred from one type to another.
4. Power companies (like SMUD) get electricity from
different sources (hydro, gas, solar, wind, geothermal)
5. For an electric current to exist in a circuit, the circuit
must form a closed loop. Switches are used to open/close
a circuit. Metals conduct easily. Other materials do not
and act as insulators.
6. A fuse burns out if the current becomes too large
7. As the energy output of a circuit increases, the energy

change under the following conditions:
p156
a.) there is a 5 volt battery
b.) current is 3 amps
c.) there is a two volt battery
d.) the current is increased to 5 amps
e.) the two-volt battery is replaced with a four-volt
battery
f.) the current increases from 2 amps to 3 amps
PART B: MODELING A SERIES CIRCUIT
p158
Now we need 2 light bulbs.
1a.) Describe what will happen if we put 2 bulbs in
our circuit, one right after the other.
 In order to have any light in the second bulb, an
electron (student) must keep some of the energy
from the first bulb (so less energy goes to the first
bulb) to give to the second. This is called
resistance. How much energy goes to the first bulb
depends on the bulb. For now, half of the energy
will go to the first bulb, and half to the second
bulb.

PART B (P608)
P158
2a.) Since the brightness of a bulb depends on
how much energy is used up in the bulb during
a given time, how would the brightness of each
of the 2 bulbs in the series circuit compare with
the brightness of a single bulb hooked up to
the same battery?
 3 A) 4 light bulbs in series result in…
 B) two light bulbs and a 3-volt battery
 C) two light bulbs, but twice as much current
 D) two different kinds of light bulbs in series

HOW DOES A PARALLEL CIRCUIT CHANGE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS? (1 VOLT AND 1 AMP)
7a.) 4 bulbs in a parallel circuit (the current
passing by each light bulb would be…)
(1 volt)(1 amp)/4 bulbs=
One fourth (1/4) coulomb per second or one
student passing by every 4 seconds

7b.) three light bulbs and a 3 volt battery
(3volts)(1amps)/3bulbs=
Three times the charge means three times as
bright
Each light bulb receives 1/3 of a coulomb of
charge per second=1 ampere
(Same brightness as 1 bulb with 1 volt and 1 amp)
HOW DOES A PARALLEL CIRCUIT CHANGE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS? (1 VOLT AND 2 AMP)
p159
7c.) 3 light bulbs and larger current (2 amps)
(1 volt)(2 amps)/3 bulbs=
Each light bulb would still get the same amount
of energy per charge (student) passing by, and
1/3 the larger current, but there is twice as
much current, so each bulb would get 2/3
amps each
HOW DOES A PARALLEL CIRCUIT CHANGE p159
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS? (6 VOLT AND 1 AMP)
7d.) 4 light bulbs and 6 volts
(6 volts)(1 amp)/4 bulbs =
Each light bulb would receive six joules of energy
for every coulomb (student) that passes and
each light bulb would receive ¼ the current of
1 amp (one student would pass by every 1.5
seconds)
HOW DOES A PARALLEL CIRCUIT CHANGE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS? (1 VOLT AND 1 AMP)
p159
7e.) 3 bulbs that are not identical
Each would get the same amount of energy per
charge (student), but different amounts of
charge because they are not identical (the
number of students passing by per second
would vary)
So each bulb would be a different brightness

8. Electrical power is the speed that energy is transferred. Power
is measured in Watts (W)
9. Electric potential or voltage is the potential energy per unit of
charge, and is measured in volts 1 volt=1 joule/charge
10. Current is the amount of charge per unit of time that flows
past a point and is measured in amperes (amps) 1amp=1
charge/second
11. Resistors are electronic devices (like light bulbs) that resist
the flow of electric charge
12. In a series circuit there is one path for current to follow. The
sum of the voltage dropped at each resistor is equal to the total
voltage supplied to the circuit (2 light bulbs in series: each gets ½
the voltage and are therefore ½ the brightness)

17. Ammeters are used to measure current
(which is measured in amps or I)
18. Resistance is directly proportional to the
voltage dropped and inversely proportional to the
current

6. Your hair dryer has a resistance of 9.6 ohms and you plug it into the
bathroom outlet. Assume household voltage to be 120 volts, and that
different parts of your house are connected in parallel.
a.) What current will it draw?
I=V/R=120V/9.6=12.5 amps
b.)Suppose that your brother has an identical hair dryer and plugs it into
a parallel part of the circuit. What current will the two hair dryers
draw?
Parallel circuits have the same voltage drop and the same current…12.5
amps + 12.5 amps=25 amps total
c.) If the maximum current the circuit breaker in the system can handle
is 20 amps, what do you think will happen?
The circuit breaker will “break” when the current exceeds 20 amps

20. Power is the rate at which energy is delivered to an object or a load in a
circuit. Power is measured in watts. One Watt is one joule of energy supplied in
one second of time (1 W= 1 J/s). For a circuit, the power can be calculated by
multiplying current and voltage (P=IV)
21. When the flow of electric charge, or current, occurs easily in a material it is
called a good electric conductor. When the material does not allow charge to
flow easily (or not at all) it is called an insulator.
22. Fuses and circuit breakers are used as safeguards to protect the circuit
from too much current and prevent electrical fires from starting. A fuse consists
of a wire that will melt when too much current flows through it, thus opening
the circuit. A fuse must be replaced when blown (to make a closed circuit). A
circuit breaker is a switch that opens when too much current flows through it. A
circuit breaker must be reset when tripped for current to resume flowing.
23. The power (and current) drawn by a circuit depends upon the voltage of the
circuit and the resistance of the circuit. Decreasing the resistance of a circuit
increases the power (and current) for a fixed voltage.

24. Switches are used to control the total circuit or part of a circuit.
25. Energy and charge are conserved in a circuit. Using these principles and Ohm’s Law
results in the following relationships for series and parallel circuits:
Series:
Parallel:
Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 etc.
Vtotal = V1 = V2 = V3 etc.
Itotal = I1 =I2 =I3 etc.
Itotal = I1 + I2 + I3 etc.
R total = R1 + R2 + R3 etc.
1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 etc.
26. For any junction in a circuit, the current flowing into the junction must equal the
current leaving the junction.
27. The energy consumed in the parts of a circuit is equal to the the energy supplied by
the power source
28. Adding resistance in parallel decreases the circuit resistance and increases the
circuit current and power.

1. The direction of a magnetic field outside a magnet is from north
to south (that is why a compass points north)
2. The earth’s magnetic field is caused by currents in the earth’s
core and changes over time.
3. All magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges
(electromagnets use electricity). The field is perpendicular to the
wire. Changing the magnetic field changes both the current and
the voltage.
4. A moving charge is deflected when it crosses magnetic field
lines. This force can be used to do work. The magnetic field is
strongest near the center
5. A generator converts energy into electricity. A motor turns
electricity into mechanical energy.
6. Faradays law: electric fields are created when a magnetic field
changes

TEMPERATURE MODEL
DRIVING QUESTION: WHAT DOES TEMPERATURE
REALLY MEASURE?
p173
1. Measures the movement (speed) of
molecules (more energy=more speed)
2. As the molecule speed increases, the
molecules spread out taking up more space.
This is what happens in a thermometer.
3. Centigrade (Celsius), kelvin, Fahrenheit
4. Absolute zero is when molecules stop
moving and therefore take up zero space
(impossible!)

Describe at least two ways that students made
predictions. The evidence supported which method?
Equal amounts of hot water (80oC) are added to cold
water (10oC). Explain how to predict the final
temperature (and then do the math!)
Students performed the experiment, but only measured
a final temp of 40oC Where did the extra heat go?
Predict the final temp of 3 parts 30oC and 1 part 70oC
water.
Did adding equal amounts of metal nails have the same
effect as adding equal amounts of water? What does
this say about heating metal compared to heating
water?

What do we use hot water for?
Most American homes use more energy to heat water
than all the other energy uses combined. There are 2
main types of water heaters. A big tank of water that is
heated by a gas flame (and kept hot until you want to
use it) and “instant” water heaters that use electricity
through an immersion unit to heat water only when
you want to use it.

ENERGY MODEL: SECTION 9
p173
17. Heat may be transferred by conduction, convection,
or radiation. Conduction occurs when two objects are
touching each other. Convection occurs through the
movement of a fluid. Radiation occurs when the warmer
object emits electromagnetic waves in all directions and
the cooler object absorbs some or all of it
18. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Heat flows from hot to
cold, increasing the disorder by making molecules move
faster (entropy).
19. 3rd Law of Thermodynamics. We can never reach
absolute zero because it is impossible for molecules to
stop moving.
