8.PS2.1 - Magnets and Electromagnetism: Design and conduct investigations depicting the relationship between magnetism and electricity in electromagnets, generators, and electrical motors - emphasizing the factors that increase or diminish the electric current and the magnetic field strength. 

Learning Intentions:

• Identify the properties of Magnets and Magnetism

• Describe the relationship between magnetism and electricity

• Identify devices that utilize the relationship between magnetism and electricity

• Describe the factors that increase or decrease the strength of an electric current and magnetic field

8.PS2.2 - Non-Contact Forces: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.

Learning Intentions:

• Identify evidence of magnetic fields 

8.ETS1.1 - Optimal solution - Electromagnets: Develop a model to generate data for ongoing testing and modification of an electromagnet, a generator, and a motor such that an optimal design can be achieved.

Learning Intentions:

• Describe the factors that increase or decrease the strength of an electric current and magnetic field
