Traffic Light Chart August 30, 2006
Posted by mrmackenzie in : Using Electricity , 1 comment so far
I’ve used the traffic lighting information you provided in your jotters to draw a bar chart showing how comfortable our class feels about each of the success criteria.
If you want to read the text along the x-axis, just click on this pdf version of the traffic light chart. You will be able to zoom in using Acrobat’s zoom feature and read the full text label for each of the criteria (get Adobe Acrobat Reader here).
I will address the topics attracting the highest red scores first, so we will start with “know that the declared value of an alternating voltage is less than its peak value”. We will start a lesson with this topic in the next week.

Posted by mrmackenzie in : Using Electricity , add a commentWe had some discussion about the use of voltmeters and ammeters this week. I found this site tonight. It has information on several types of meter and is worth a look.

Feel free to use this site to remind yourself what we have worked on during the week, last week or last month as we work through the Standard Grade course. There are categories down the side menu to guide you to the correct course unit, along with links to other sites you might find useful. I will add updates as we cover new topics. You can ask questions or start discussion by posting comments. (Rude comments will be removed!)
