Lesson 3: Electric Fields
|
Hook:
Show videos of Electric Field demonstrations. Describe to the students how these fields exist around around us all the time but the field lines are actually present. Have the students try to think about possible applications of electric fields.
Action:
Make correlations between gravitational fields and electric fields. The connections made here may be vital to many students to make Electric Fields less intimidating and more familiar. Emphasis needs to be placed on the direction the field line arrows are pointing in and how this represents the direction a PROTON would travel.
Debrief:
Draw diagrams of Electric Field lines and have the students describe and consolidate all the answers to ensure they know the basics of the lesson.
