| Unit GLEs |
| Strand 1 Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy |
| 2. Energy has a source, can be transferred, and can be transformed into various forms but is conserved between and within systems. |
| H. Describe the interactions (repel, attract) of like and unlike charges (magnetic, static electric, electrical) |
| I. Diagram and identify a complete electric circuit by using a source (battery), means of transfer (wires), and receiver (resistance bulbs, motors, fans) |
| J. Observe and describe the evidence of energy transfer in a closed series circuit. |
| K. Describe the effects of resistance (number of receivers), amount of voltage (number of energy sources), and kind of transfer materials on the current being transferred through a circuit (brightness of light, speed of motor). |
| L. Classify materials as conductors or insulators of electricity when placed within a circuit (wood, pencil lead, plastic, glass, aluminum foil, lemon juice, water, air) |
| M. Diagram and distinguish between complete series and parallel circuits. |
| N. Identify advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits. |
| Energy Transformations |
| A. Identify the different energy transformations that occur between different systems (chemical energy in battery to electricity in circuit converted to light and heat from a bulb) |
| B. Recognize that during an energy transformation, heat is often transferred from the object (system) to another because of a difference in temperature. |
| C. Recognize energy is not lost but conserved as it is transferred and transformed. |
