Knowledge

Students know:
  • How to develop and use models.
  • Understanding of static electricity.
  • Phenomena of electric and magnetic fields.
  • How charges interact and how they behave in a field.
  • How fields interact.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Properly use a voltmeter or mulimeter.
  • Develop and use models to make predictions and to illustrate explanations.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Some forces act over a distance, creating fields.
  • The behavior of objects in a field is predictable and caused by interaction of fields and charged particles.
