1 What your class asks
This lesson asks you to describe current electricity and compare it with static electricity, to identify good conductors and good insulators, to explain what the parts of a simple circuit do, and to tell series circuits from parallel circuits and name common uses of each. The museum holds no record that serves these expectations yet, so this lesson offers no cards. 1
Curriculum expectations, with their official codes
- C2.2 describe current electricity, and compare and contrast current electricity with static electricity
- C2.3 identify materials that are good conductors of electric current and materials that are good insulators
- C2.6 explain the functions of the components of a simple electrical circuit
- C2.7 distinguish between series and parallel circuits, and identify common uses of each type of circuit
2 The lesson
What will you compare, and on what grounds?
For each pair you meet (current and static electricity, conductor and insulator, series and parallel), write one thing that is the same, one thing that differs, and a test you could do to tell the two apart.
