crest
wave speed
alternating current (AC)
charge
conductor
current
direct current (DC)

permanent magnet
resistance
series circuit
voltage
work
Things you need to be able to recognize or know
Know how wave speed impacts frequency and pitch
Know the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and which have the highest frequency and energy
Know how electromagnetic waves transfer energy
Understand what frequency is and how it works
What can affect the frequency of a sound in a musical instrument (think about lab)
Be able to calculate wave speed (frequency x wave length)
Know how mechanical waves transmits energy
Recognize interference, reflection, refraction, absorption and diffract of waves
Describe how mechanical wave speed change as they move through different media and different temperatures
Describe and recognize what happens to wave in the Doppler Effect
Recognize the difference between static and current
Know how electricity works
Know what static discharge is and why it occurs
Know what conduction is and how it applies to electrons
Know the difference between an insulator and conductor
Know how to work Ohm’s Law
Recognize and know how parallel and series circuits work and which way the electrons move
Know what a transformer is and how it works
Know the difference between a motor and a generator
Recognize the difference between AC and DC current
Know what a permanent magnet is and its applications
Practicum
Be able to explain how a house is wired with both series and parallel and the benefits to using those types of circuits.
