Unit 8: Electricity and Magnetism Time Frame: April 6th thru April 30th Science>Physical Science> Unit 8 Unit Description This unit thoroughly examines the properties of static electricity, electric circuits, magnetic fields, and the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Enduring Understandings All particles of matter contain energy. Magnetic forces are very closely related to electric forces and can be thought of as different aspects of a single electromagnetic force. The amount of electromagnetic disturbance is directly related to a change in equilibrium. Essential Questions How does energy affect a system at the macro and microscopic levels? How does the interplay of electric and magnetic forces affect our world and the way we live? What size disturbance is required to upset equilibrium? Student Understandings Incorporating inquiry processes, students will examine and identify properties and connections between the phenomena of electricity and magnetism. Students will, investigate the production of static electricity, construct electrical circuits, map magnetic fields, and build an electromagnet. GLEs: SI- 5-7, 9, 14; PS- 44-47 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? Assessments: Worksheets, Formulas Test
