Each unit begins with a social-emotional component to help students build different skills. Resolving conflict is a very important life skill. However, you will not be tested on this information. Work your way through the content until you get to page 9.
Electricity & Magnetism Introduction (page 6)
One new thing I learned: is that Electric motors have been around since the early 1800’s.
What do I already know about electricity, magnetism, factors that increase their strength and how they work together?
I already know that electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it can be generated by various sources such as batteries, generators, or power plants. Magnetism, on the other hand, is a property of certain materials that can attract or repel other objects with magnetic properties. I am aware that magnets have a north pole and a south pole, and opposite poles attract while like poles repel each other.
In terms of factors that increase their strength, I know that in electricity, increasing the voltage or current can increase its power. Similarly, in magnetism, increasing the number of magnetic field lines or using stronger magnets can increase the strength of the magnetic field.
I also know that electricity and magnetism are closely related and can work together. Moving electric charges create magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields can induce electric currents. This is the principle behind electromagnetism and is utilized in various devices such as electric motors and generators.
