Electricity!

We have begun to learn about Electricity in science. Over the past couple of days, we have been investing what electricity is, the two main types of electricity, and where electricity comes from. Students made presentations to demonstrate their understanding. Most students are complete and we will be finishing this part of our investigation on Monday.

In this unit, we will be exploring the following concepts:

  • static and current electricity, and the types of common circuits (series and parallel)
  • insulators and conductors
  • how electricity is generated and the societal and environmental implications
  • proper safety around electricity
  • circuit design
  • how electricity is changed from and to other forms of energy
Below is a link to a Blendspace unit I created to help reinforce the concepts that we are learning in class. I will be adding to this throughout the unit, so please check back!
