Electricity Unit - Current and Static Electricity Unit Bundle

The Unit Package includes a complete lesson set for a complete Electricity unit. It is geared towards students in grades 7-9 but has been successfully implemented in many grade 6 classes whose students are able to grasp concepts reasonably well.

Inside you'll find lessons covering the basic components of electricity, circuit diagrams, power, resistance, electrical safety, electricity production, as well as static electricity. You'll also get access to multiple lab station activities, readings, and other activities that will keep your students engaged throughout. Lastly, I've included the test and quizzes I use in my own classroom along with their answer keys.

**IN ADDITION. When you purchase this resource you will get 1-month free to my membership program where you will gain access to all of my resources on my site**

Buyer Comments:

- "My students love this. It is so well organized and put together. Thank you so much."

- "Thank you for saving me through 3 different preps this year!"

- "MAJOR time saver when preparing my lessons on electricity. Thank you! One topic I have to cover that is missing is drawing electric field lines and calculating electric field strength."

- "I really enjoyed teaching this unit, it was very well created. I felt the unit kept my students interested and the videos were a great addition. It saved me a lot of time, and I knew I could count on the product! Fergy responds to questions very promptly and is always happy to help! Thank you Fergy!"

----------------------------------

This is 4-6 weeks of teaching time and includes:

• NINE Lessons
• 2 Unit Tests & 3 Quizzes
• Two Lab Station Activities
• Electricity Production - Renewable Energy Sources – Science Comprehension Reading
• Three Projects
• Four Classroom Activities
• Two Lab Station Activities

Each Lesson Contains

• Google and Office versions of the presentation and all documents
• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• PDF version of the presentation
• Videos embedded directly into the slides
• An auto-graded Exit Ticket

Lessons Include:

• Lesson 1 - Electricity
• Lesson 2 - Solving Circuit Diagrams
• Lesson 3 - Resistance and Ohm's Law
• Lesson 4 - Solving Electrical Circuits with Resistance
• Lesson 4a - Electric Circuits Online Lab
• Lesson 5 - Power and Electrical Energy
• Lesson 6 - Electrical Safety in the Home
• Lesson 7 - Producing Electricity
• Lesson 8 - Static Electricity
• Lesson 9 - Electrostatic Charge and Applications

--------------------

• This unit includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

--------------------

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

More Buyer Comments:

- "What an incredible amount of work you have done! I will definitely be able to use this. Thanks."

- "This made my life so much easier! Thank you!"

- "It was a great resource. it saved me many hours of preparation."

- "Very thorough and good sequencing."

- "awesome"

- "Very thorough and thought out!"

- "These units are excellent- make teaching multi-grade science much easier as everyone is interested- thank you!"

----------------------------------------------

Each lesson has a student and teacher version. The student version contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

NGSS:

MS-PS2-3 - Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

This standard covers investigating factors that affect electric forces, which aligns with the circuits, static electricity, and electromagnetism content in the unit.

MS-PS3-2 - Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.

Modeling potential energy in electric circuits and electrostatic systems aligns with this standard on electric potential energy.

MS-PS3-5 - Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.

This standard on energy transfer connects to content on power and energy transfer in electric circuits.

HS-PS2-4 - Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.

Coulomb's law is relevant to the electrostatics lessons in the unit.
