Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is staying warm!
Today our class was visited
by representatives from Elboya Junior High.
A teacher and administrator from the school explained the features and
benefits of their late French immersion program and a few students from the
school were on hand to share their personal experiences. Ramsay students interested in the program received
an informative handout about the program to share with their families.
For interested students and
families, the Open House for Elboya is scheduled for February 4th @ 7:00pm
In science today, students had an opportunity to explore and build both series and parallel circuits. A series circuit is one in which the current has only one path to take from the negative terminal of the battery through the load and back to the positive terminal. The circuit no longer works if one bulb or battery is disconnected. A parallel circuit is one in which each bulb and/or battery is in its own circuit. It receives the same current independent of the other components in the circuit. If one bulb or battery is unscrewed or no longer works, the other bulb and/or batteries are not affected. The advantages of a parallel circuit are that all devices in the circuit get equal amounts of strong currents and work independently of each other. Students learned the benefits and challenges of both types of circuitry.
