Goal of this activity and discussion
In this activity, you will use simulations to explore properties of electric charges.
What to do?
Choose one of the following simulations and spend a few minutes exploring it:
PhET – Balloons and Static Electricity
(Links to an external site.)
PhET – Electric Field of Dreams
(Links to an external site.)
PhET – John Travoltage
(Links to an external site.)
What did you learn? Make an observation about electric charges and their interactions using one of the simulations above.
What to post?
Describe the simulation you used and the observation you made.
Share your thoughts
Reply to two different posts, and discuss their observations.
How will you be evaluated?
I will review your work and allocate points as follows:
Your observation
Your contributions to two other posts
All discussions within this course are marked as “Complete/Incomplete”. For all discussions, “Complete” earns you 10 points, and “Incomplete” earns 0 points. Your introduction will be graded using the attached rubric.
