Lesson Topic
Static electricity and direct current circuits
Lesson Outline
I asked Anna questions about acceleration and velocity vectors in circular motion. She was able to correctly identify the correct directions. I asked her some general questions about basic direct current circuits. After she answered them correctly, I instructed her to view a video on basic direct current circuits. There was no assignment.

Lesson Comments
Anna is becoming more responsive in answering questions which helps me to recognize where she is competent.
Session Date
Lesson Topic
Analyzing acceleration, velocity, and position curves and free body diagrams
Lesson Outline
I worked with Anna to help her fully understand the relationships of the acceleration, velocity, and position vs time graphs. I then instructed her to watch a video about free body diagrams for forces such as the ones we have studied in this chapter dealing with electic forces. After that, I gave her a reading assignment and a written one on part A of p.245.

Lesson Comments
Anna was very prepared for the session today, but needed some assistance with conversion between acceleration, velocity, and position vs time graphs. She told me she would check to find out what the rest of the year would cover.

Lesson Topic
torque equilibrium quantization of charges, charge effect on acceleration
Lesson Outline
I reviewed with Anna the ratio of charges of two joined particles to obtain rotational equilibrium from a third charge. I also directed her to view two videos to explain charge quantization and how grains of pollen could have different repulsion forces. Lastly, we studied an acceleration vs time chart to find how charges move with electric repulsion. The homework was to construct two charts: velocity vs time and position vs time based on the chart on p. 243.

Lesson Comments
Anna answered the problems I asked her about charges related to different physical scenarios. She speaks quietly but is usually correct.

Lesson Topic
'Forces and Torques in Equilibrium
Lesson Outline
I worked with Anna to calculate the different charges on two point sources connected by a rigid, non-connecting rod. At the beginning of the class, I told her to view a video which developed Coulomb's equation and then I worked with her to analyze a diagram of three forces. The forces had to be in equilibrium in the scenario and so the farther point from a third point had to have a larger charge compared to the point closest to the third charge. At the end of the session, Anna was still developing her analysis of the diagram. I assigned her to study the scenario and try to develop answers to questions the activity asked.

Lesson Comments
Anna was very quick to find the answers to some of the questions I asked her to supply. Then, when I asked her to give me an answer to a much more open-ended problem, she got stuck. I sent her some notes in chat to help her, but the topic is very difficult.
Session Date
Lesson Topic
Electric Force from point sources
Lesson Outline
I asked Anna a number of questions from her studies of forces on points in space. We used Coulombs law to discuss both quantitative and qualitative effects of charges in space on each other. We did problems involving both electromagnetic and gravitational forces in such a way as to show how both sets of laws use the inverse square of the distance between point sources. There was no assignment.
