Current+Electricity+Sub-Unit+Outline

This is a rough outline of the unit and of the order in which material is taught. Not everything on this list may be taught or evaluated. Homework questions are found in the pale blue “Understanding Concepts” question boxes for each section. Sometimes questions from the other sections (e.g. “Exploring”) will also be assigned for homework. ** Concepts and Units  ** 10.1, 10.2 Electric Circuits 10.3, 10.9, 10.10 Electrical Units: Voltage/Current/Resistance 10.5 Electrochemical Cells ** Schematic Diagrams and Measurement  ** Introduction to Schematic Diagrams, pp. 544-545 Connecting ammeters and voltmeters (activities) [|http://phet.colorado.edu] Circuit Construction Kit (DC Only) [|http://www.explorelearning.com] (requires login) ** Lab Evaluation and Advanced Concepts  ** 10.11 Ohm's Law Lab ** Series and Parallel  ** 10.7 Cells in series and parallel 10.12 Series circuit — qualitative and quantitative 10.13 Multiple Loads & Parallel Circuit Resistance in Series and Parallel Worksheets Parallel Circuit— qualitative and quantitative characteristics of multiple loads in a parallel circuit (i.e. equivalent resistance) AIM Booklet #4 ** Circuit Construction Evaluations  ** Practical Circuit Construction Evaluation Series/Parallel Calculations Evaluation ** Power and Energy Use  ** 11.2 Electrical energy 11.4 Electrical power 12.4 Electrical efficiency (?) 12.6 The family energy audit (?)
