MAGNETISM

LO 3.C.3.2: The student is able to plan a data collection strategy appropriate to an investigation of the direction of the force on a moving electrically charged object caused by a current in a wire in the context of a specific set of equipment and instruments and analyze the resulting data to arrive at a conclusion.

LO 7.A.3.2: The student is able to design a plan for collecting data to determine the relationships between pressure, volume and temperature and amount of an ideal gas and to refine a scientific question concerning a proposed incorrect relationship between the variables. [SP 3.2 & 4.2]

WAVES AND OPTICS

LO 6.A.1.3: The student is able to analyze data (or a visual representation) to identify patterns that indicate that a particular mechanical wave is polarized and construct an explanation of the fact that the wave must have a vibration perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. [SP 5.1, 6.2]

LO 6.E.3.2: The student is able to plan data collection strategies as well as perform data analysis and evaluation of the evidence for finding the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for light crossing boundaries from one transparent material to another (Snell’s law). [SP 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3]
