Electricity
Within
the Electricity Unit, IPC students are expected to
investigate and compare series and parallel circuits.
Students are also expected to understand the Ohm's Law
equation and identify the variables.
Critical Questions:
- What is the impact of energy transformations in
everyday life?
- How does the efficiency of energy conversions
impact everyday life?
Suggested Time Frame: 4 weeks
