Not Available. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S8480: Introductory Electricity in HSSP Summer 2014 (Jul. 06, 2014)
This course is designed for the enthusiastic high school students who wish to explore exciting topics in electricity and have not had formal instruction in the subject. We will start
from the very basic ideas of electric charges and conclude with fundamental applications to
electric circuits and beyond. In between, we will study electrostatic interactions, conductors,
insulators, and capacitors. Along the way, we will emphasize applications so that students
can see the profound practicality of what they learn. Some of the potential applications that
we will cover include superconductors and semiconductors. To further enforce the course
content, we will spend a portion of the class getting students' hands dirty by constructing an
automatic LED nightlight. This way, each student walks away with a little demonstration of
electricity to show his or her friends.
