Georgia Standards of Excellence

SPS10. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of and relationships between electricity and magnetism.

a. Use mathematical and computational thinking to support a claim regarding relationships among voltage, current, and resistance.

 

b. Develop and use models to illustrate and explain the conventional flow (direct and alternating) of current and the flow of electrons in simple series and parallel circuits.

(Clarification statement: Advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits should be addressed.)

 

c. Plan and carry out investigations to determine the relationship between magnetism and the movement of electrical charge.

(Clarification statement: Investigations could include electromagnets, simple motors, and generators.)
