Let’s take a break from all of the “book learning” and explore the world around you. For these assignments,
your writing will be focused on Everyday Physics which will help you connect your Readings to things that have
happened in the world around you. Your posts should be interesting and well written.
In this module, you will look for an article or news story/video that relates to one or more of the following topics:
Magnetic fields
Force/Torque due to a magnetic field
Magnetic fields due to electric currents
Solenoids or toroids
These are pretty broad topics, but a few ideas should spring readily to mind.
By the end of the third day of the module, create a thread with a 250-word post including one or more of the
topics listed above, an active hyperlink to your resource (this resource cannot be used by another student), a
summary of the resource itself, a summary of the material you are learning in this module as it relates to your
resource (cite portions of the textbook), and an explanation of how the topic or resource ties to your everyday
life. Then provide a substantive reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts (minimum 200 words) before the
end of the module. Don’t forget to reply to the comments your classmates leave about your original post, too.
Posts made after the posted due date of the discussion will be reviewed by your instructor, but no points will be
earned for your effort.
