Learning Goals / Success Criteria / Date
to identify which substances can hold or transfer electric charges
E2.3, E2.4
E3.2 / -Identify the parts of the atom, their location, and charges
-I can identify the size the of charge difference for a given object
-Identify that different materials enable the movement of electrons to different degrees (activity)
-To classify material as either a conductor or an insulator
-identify and draw the three ways to charge an object
E2.2 / -I can identify and draw how friction between insulators creates charge transfer
-I can identify the proper charge of each object based on the electrostatic series
-I can identify and draw how a charged object will move the free electrons in a conductor when brought near
-I can identify and draw how a charged object will transfer electrons when it touches a conductor
-I can identify how charge difference, medium, and distance between the charges relates to discharge (lightning)
identify the basic components of a simple circuit and its various measures
(current, voltage, resistance, power)
E3.3 E3.4 / -I can see how charge difference, medium, and distance between the charges is controlled in circuits (battery determines the charge diff., wire minimizes distance and the medium)
-I can describe the difference between electric discharge (random), direct current and alternating current
-I can draw a simple circuit using proper symbols
-I understand that a simple circuit needs a wire, power source, and load.
-I can identify the various measures in a circuit and their unit (V,I,P (E))
-I can differentiate between the measure and its symbol (current, I), magnitude (10), and unit and its symbol (ampere, A).
Identify what happens to electrons when they move through a circuit
E2.7, E2.8
E3.1, , E3.6, E3.7
Lab / -I can identify the concept of how resistance results an energy transfer from the electrons (load)
-I can connect a simple circuit with an ammeter and voltmeter
-I understand the relationship between current and voltage
-I can record data and analyze with tables and graphs to see the relationship (R=V/I)
-I can solve problems between current, voltage, and resistance using this relationship (R=V/I).
Identify what happens to electrons when they move through a circuit
E3.8 / -I can understand that wires can be made from different materials with different physical properties (conductivity)
-I understand how the shape (cross sectional area and length) affects the resistance within a circuit
Identify the effect of adding more loads to a simple circuit
E2.5,E2.6,E3.5
Lab, gizmo, pHET / -I can identify different ways to connect multiple loads (series, parallel)
