This module on electricity will introduce students to terms used for electricity and people that had an impact on electricity. There are many hands on experiments to complete. Their final project is to use their knowledge from the unit and invent something that uses electricity.

At the end of this module students should be able to:

  • The students will be able to explain the difference between conductors and insulators.
  • The students will be able to define static electricity.
  • The students will be able to describe an electromagnet.
  • The students will understand magnetic circuits.
  • The students will be able to describe and recognize a simple parallel circuit.
    • Assessment

     

    Students complete a variety of written assignments and final projects to assess progress. All work is archived in individual student folders at the WiloStar3D site. Final multimedia projects are showcased at the WiloStar3D site and are archived into personal student portfolio CD's at the end of the school year to document progress and student growth.

    WiloStar3D teachers provide written daily feedback on all student assignments. Students have password protected learning portals where assignment feedback is stored along with their e-gradebook. Students have access to this area 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    These include:

  • Daily assignments
  • Laboratory work
  • Electricity Invention
