PSc.3.3.1
•Summarize static and current electricity
•Identify interaction between charged objected - opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
•Compare the methods of charging objects: conduction, friction, and induction - explain the re-distribution or transfer of electrons for each method for both positively and negatively charged objects.
•Compare static and current electricity related to conservation of charge and movement of charge.
PSc.3.3.2
•Explain simple series and parallel DC circuits in terms of Ohm's law.
•Interpret simple circuit diagrams using symbols.
•Explain open and closed circuits.
•Apply Ohm's law and the power equation to simple DC circuits: V = IR and P = VI.
•Compare series and parallel circuits. Conceptually explore the flow of electricity in series and parallel circuits.
•Explain how the flow of electricity through series and parallel circuits is affected by voltage and resistance.
PSc.3.3.3
•Explain how current is affected by changes in composition, length, temperature, and diameter of wire.
•Explain how the wire in a circuit can affect the current present - for a set voltage, the current in a wire is inversely proportional to its resistance; increasing the length of a wire increases the resistance; increasing the temperature increases the resistance; increasing the diameter of a wire decreases its resistance.
•Explain using a cause-and-effect model how changes in composition, length, temperature, and diameter of a wire would affect the current in a circuit.
