In addition, Standards and Benchmarks have been added to each classroom connector in compliance with the concept initiated in the 1997 Tennessee Science Curriculum Framework . NSES Content Topic Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which the electrical current can pass.

NSES Content Topic Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism Light travels in a straight line unless it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object. Heat can be produced in many ways such as burning, rubbing, and mixing chemicals. The heat can move from one object to another by conduction. Vibrating objects produce sound.
