TOPIC VIII: Electricity-Static Current ESSENTIAL CONTENT OBJECTIVES INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS Core Text Book: Develop the concept of electricity Define static electricity and discuss its causes. Static electricity/Lightning Ch. 20 & 21 Investigate how electric charges exert forces on each Charges/Electromagnetic force other and how objects become electrically charge. Vocabulary: (see p. 2) Differentiate among conductors, semiconductors, and Conductor, semiconductors, and insulators Electricity, electric current, electric circuit, resistor, insulators Current open/closed circuit, switch, ampere, voltage, battery, Investigate and explain the relationships among current, Voltage resistance, ohm, voltage, resistance, and power. Introduce using examples and make a Ohm’s Law Electric circuits and systems Technology: (see p. 2) connection to the motion of charges. Batteries Describe band structure, valence electrons, and how the Series and Parallel circuits Brain pop multimedia: charges flow or rearrange themselves between Brain pop multimedia: Ohm’s Law conductors and insulators. Brain pop multimedia: Kirchoff’s law Distinguish between circuits connected in parallel or in Power Brain pop multimedia: series. Alternating/Direct current Discuss advantages for using parallel circuits. Circuit breakers and fuses Construct and interpret circuit diagrams. Discuss applications of electricity in daily living Distinguish direct current and alternating current.
