=======Review of Magnetic, Electric, and Electromagnetic Phenomena======= Students came up with these powerful ideas when describing the "Flow Model:"\\ * Direction of the flow doesn't matter.\\ * The current will always take the path of least resistance.\\ * Series circuit is dimmer than a parallel circuit when connected to directly to the battery.\\ * Current is conserved. Energy is lost. The amount of current coming leaving a battery is the same amount coming back into the battery.\\ * If there is less resistance, there is more current.\\ * A parallel circuit has half of the resistance of a series circuit. \\ Powerful Idea about **power**: Power is how much energy is released per unit of time. I∧2R\\ \\ \\ Students had some confusion when discussing a question on their homework which involved charged/neutral tapes. Their confusion came from differences in the way that they worded their responses to the question:\\ A is negative. A repels B. B repels C. F repels C. C is attracted to D. D is attracted to E. E is attracted to F.\\ After working together and having some discussion with one another, they came to a mutual understanding and agreement.\\ \\
