Use the link below or if your computer is not charged yet you can write the questions and your answers on a scratch piece of paper. ** [|Christmas Break] ** This is a warm up that will be graded, so please participate.
 * Tuesday:**

I was truly impressed with how the trivets came out. You guys are still blowing these projects out of the water. But this week we are going to change gears a little. We are going to start our Electrical Unit. This will be something completely new for most of you, but all of you will be successful. We will start slow and work our way up to diagramming and building circuits. To start, we are going to learn some basics and go over some tools for this unit.

First off, make a new folder in you Ag Mechanics folder and title it Electrical. You will need the following two files to get started. Please download them and put them your Electrical Folder.



Today we are going to finish up our notes and then get into the shop and start stripping, cutting and splicing wire. To do so, you will need to download the following document and complete it before net class. Please find correct images and descriptions for each part listed in the chart. Use this as a study guide to learn the parts we will be using in the unit.
 * Thursday:**

No for some splicing. We are going to attempt two different splices today. The Western Union and the Pig Tail. They are illustrated below.
