PHYS.6.E — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
identify conductors and insulators of thermal and electrical energy; and
demonstrate and describe how electrical energy travels in a closed path that can produce light and thermal energy.
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;
design, evaluate, and refine a device that generates electrical energy through the interaction of electric charges and magnetic fields;
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.
PHYS.6.E — Breakout of skills
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
The student is expected to
calculate
current through electric circuit elements connected in
parallel circuits using Ohm's law
