Electricity can be harmful. CONTENT OBJECTIVE: 6C6.00 To
understand the importance of observing safety rules in the use
of electricity INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES: The learner will: TN
COMPONENT OF SCIENCE: Process of Science BENCHMARK: The reading
and interpretation of measuring instruments are necessary in
determining length, volume, weight, elapsed time, rates, and
temperature. 1.3c Safety features should be observed in all
areas of data collection. BENCHMARK: Safety procedures are
introduced prior to and practiced during all data collection.
Heat is produced by electricity. If too much current is flowing
through a wire, the wire may become so hot that a fire starts.
This can be caused if too many appliances are plugged into the
outlet and used at the same time. Circuit breakers can prevent
this. A current can also overheat if there
