March Week 2
Students should be able to model the transfer of electrons that results in a static charge.
Students should be able to provide examples of materials that are good electrical conductors, semiconductors, and insulators.
Students should be able to apply scientific principles and the engineering process to use a battery, several wires, and a bulb to determine if an object is an electrical conductor or insulator and create a model to help explain your solution
Students should be able to define and recognize examples of voltage, current, and resistance in electric circuits
Students should be able to construct simple series and parallel circuits to determine the relationship among voltage, resistance, and current
Students should be able to describe the energy flow and transformation in a circuit containing a power source and no more than three loads
Students should be able to discuss the advantages of electronic over electrical circuits
Students should be able to evaluate and use credible, accurate, and unbiased sources of print/electronic media to gather and summarize scientific and technical information about current applications of semiconductors (e.g., diodes and transistors)
