Challenger Early College High School High School Course Unit Syllabus Teacher: Mrs. Donna Americo Course: Physical Science Unit 5: Electricity and Magnetism Unit Objectives: Static Electricity Investigate and analyze the transfer of electrons to charge objects. Demonstrate that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. Compare and contrast the three methods of charging objects: o Conduction o Friction o Induction Direct Current Electrical Circuits Interpret simple circuit diagrams using symbols. Investigate open and closed circuits. Apply Ohm’s Law and the power equation to simple DC circuits: V IR and P VI Distinguish between series and parallel circuits. Conceptually explore the flow of electricity in series and parallel circuits. Explain how the flow of electricity through series and parallel circuits is affected by voltage and resistance. Magnetism and Its Practical Applications Describe the characteristics and behaviors of magnetic domains. Investigate the attraction of unlike poles and the repulsion of like poles. Investigate the strength of an electromagnet by varying the number of coils, varying current, or core material. Develop an understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism in practical applications such as generators and motors. Inquiry Develop questions for investigation from a given topic or problem. Distinguish and appropriately graph dependent and independent variables. Report and share investigation results with others. Discuss the best method of graphing/presenting particular data. Use technology resources such as graphing calculators and computers to analyze data. Use questions and models to determine the relationships between variables in investigations. Read and interpret Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Read and analyze newspaper, journal, and on-line articles.
