The learner will build an understanding of thermal energy. Expansion and contraction. Phase change, heats of fusion and vaporization. It is impossible to build a machine that does nothing but convert heat into useful work. The learner will construct an understanding of electricity and magnetism.
Opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
3.02 Analyze the electrical charging of objects due to the transfer of electrons by friction, induction, or conduction. Simple direct current circuits. 3.04 Analyze the practical applications of magnetism and its relationship to the movement of electrical charge. 3.05 Analyze permanent magnetism and the practical applications of the characteristics of permanent magnets. The learner will develop an understanding of wave motion and the wave nature of sound and light.
