Physical Science: Unit 2b: Energy: Electricity and Magnetism
Time Frame: 4 weeks—November 11 – December 13, 2013
Unit Description and Student Understandings: This unit thoroughly examines the properties of static electricity, electric circuits, magnetic fields,
and the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Incorporating inquiry processses, students will examine and identify propeties and
connections between the phenomena of electricity and magnetism. In addition, students will investigate the production of static electricity, construct
electrical circuits, map magnetic fields, and build an electromagnet. Using inquiry processes, students will demonstrate their understanding of simple
and compound machines and will describe the relationships among energy, work, and power. Students will identify and examine differences between
potential and kinetic energy, and also analyze various energy transformations.
Guiding Questions:

Can students create and define static electricity?
Can students construct a complete circuit?
Can students differentiate between parallel and series circuits?
Can students trace the flow of electrical energy in a diagram of a complete circuit?
Can students describe a magnetic field?
Can students describe a relationship between electricity and magnetism?

Like electric charges repel each other, and unlike charges attract each other.
An electric current is a flow of electric charge
Electrical devices can be placed into series circuits as well as parallel circuits
A magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field that exerts a force on magnetic materials
An electric current in a wire is surrounded by a magnetic field
A changing magnetic field produces an electric current in a wire loop
