energy
Topic
Overview
What
S8P8 –
Students will
determine
relationships
among
force, mass
and motion.
Topic: electricity & magnetism
Students will learn more about electrical energy and how to build circuits. They will also learn
how items become magnetic. Students will use their knowledge of electricity and magnetism to
build circuits and electromagnets.
I Can Statements
Evidence
I can describe the ways an atom
can become electrically charged
Intro to Electricity Practice
I can explain the different types
of current and describe factors
that affect current
I can describe advantages and
disadvantages of series and
parallel circuits
I can identify what makes an
object magnetic
I can describe and create an
electromagnet
