Please make sure your kit is in order at the beginning and end of every build session

For the lesson today, you are going to use a Snap Circuit Kit to design and test logic gates

Step 1) Open the worksheet for 6.3.2 Logic Gates.  Read it all of the way through and make a copy into your GTT Turn in Folder to be turned in before Friday.  

Step 2) Watch the video below for background knowledge on the logic gates that you will need to design today. 

Step 3) Using the Snap Circuit Kit and working with your partner, you will build logic gates using your U15 - U20 logic gates and answer all of the related questions. For tips and tricks for hooking up your logic gates, please open Exploring Logic Gates

7th grade SDSU day

Today, I need your help while I am gone.  I have decided to delay the Conductivity Lab until tomorrow.  This is going to seem strange, but I need you to help me not find the answers to the questions, but which videos have the answers to the questions. 

For the past several years, students have been asked to watch really OLD video clips to answer the questions for 6.1.7 Electricity: River of Energy I am wondering if you can find the same information using Tim and Moby's videos at Brain Pop.

Please open the 6.1.7 doc and make a copy into your GTT Turn in folder. Instead of answering the questions I would like you to watch the videos listed below and if an answer is given in a video, type that video's title as the answer.  If a question is not answered in any of the videos listed, please use the search tool to find other videos than the ones listed.  If you still cannot find the answer in a video, please type "answer not found" as the answer to the question. 

To get to Brain Pop, please go to www.brainpop.com and login using the username deportola and the password is thanksasb.  Then do a search for each title you are looking for:

Thank you - your efforts will be rewarded.

Soldering

Yay! no paperwork for this one - just a printed circuit board which you get to take home with you when you are done.  Please be careful not to lose any pieces - they are small and tend to disappear when they hit the carpet.

Please watch the following video on soldering basics and safety - glasses on at all times

For the lesson today, you are going to strip and solder the ends of two wire, flip it around and help your partner strip and solder the other side.

Step 1) Strip 7-10 mm of insulation to expose the bare metal wire underneath. 

Step 2) Twist the ends together and secure the wires using needle nose pliers or carefully with the diagonal cutters.

Step 3) Use the soldering iron to heat the wires, then apply the solder.  It should be the wires melting the solder, not the soldering iron.

Citizenship Self Assessment

Today in class, everyone will be filling out a Citizenship Self Assessment.  We will be going over the instructions as a group but each student will fill out the Google Sheet as an individual.  

While you are waiting for everyone else to get logged in, please make a copy of this Citizenship Rubric into your Google Drive.  It does not have to be put into your GTT Turn in Folder as you will not be turning it in.  It is simply a reference for you to use so that you can keep improving your citizenship grade in this class.
