A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
S.4.8.B
identify conductors and insulators of thermal and electrical energy; and
S.4.8.C
demonstrate and describe how electrical energy travels in a closed path that can produce light and thermal energy.
IPC.6.A
design and construct series and parallel circuits that model real-world circuits such as in-home wiring, automobile wiring, and simple electrical devices to evaluate the transfer of electrical energy;
IPC.6.B
design, evaluate, and refine a device that generates electrical energy through the interaction of electric charges and magnetic fields;
PHYS.6.D
analyze, design, and construct series and parallel circuits using schematics and materials such as switches, wires, resistors, lightbulbs, batteries, voltmeters, and ammeters; and
PHYS.6.E
calculate current through, potential difference across, resistance of, and power used by electric circuit elements connected in both series and parallel circuits using Ohm's law.
