Students make the connection that the devices they use require energy provided by electricity. This concept ties them to the real-world, and how the lessons in the unit build an understanding and require the students to make investigations and develop explanations.
This can be investigated by having the students build a circuit. They discover the different parts of a circuit and how the parts are used to complete a circuit. Students study the world around them to understand the different devices that impact their lives that use electricity. This can be investigate by having the students build a circuit. They discover the different parts of a circuit and how the parts are used to complete a circuit. Labs are performed for the students explore and develop their own understanding and connection with electricity as it moves in a circuit. Students study the world around them to understand the different devices that impact their lives that use electricity.
