Standard 5 – Electricity and Magnetism - 3 Weeks CLE3231.5.5 Analyze schematic diagrams. Scaffolded (Unpacked) Items 1.The components of a circuit are assigned symbols for the purpose of constructing, designing, and analyzing the theoretical behavior of that circuit. 2. The arrangement of the symbols in a circuit is called a schematic. CLE.3231.Inq.3 Use appropriate tools and technology to collect precise and accurate data. CLE.3231.Inq.6 Communicate and defend scientific findings. CLE. 3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula. Identify common components of electrical circuitry from a schematic drawing such as batteries, resistors, lamps, ammeters, voltmeters, and variable resistors.

How will the current change depend on the arrangement? Students will draw diagrams of the circuits they want to test. They will then identify the measurements they need to make to answer the question. When the plan is approved by the teacher, the student will obtain the necessary equipment and perform the experiment. Electrical Engineer Students will research the career of an electrical engineer or technician. Students will prepare materials for people interested in this career field. Students should include information on where people in this career field work, which tools and equipment they use, and the challenges of their field. Students should also include what training is typically necessary to enter the field.
