K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Students will learn through paper circuits how to develop an electrical schematic with the application of electrical symbols. The incorporation of the LED, battery, and wire to complete a circuit.

K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

Students will learn through paper circuits how to develop an electrical schematic with the application of electrical symbols. The incorporation of the LED, battery, and wire to complete a circuit.

K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

Students know how to design and build simple series and parallel circuits by using components such as wires, batteries, and bulbs.

MS-PS1-1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.

Students will develop a model where they learn about the parts of an atom which is the basic element in electricity.

5-PS1-1. Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

Students will develop a model where they learn about the parts of an atom which is the basic element in electricity.

2-PS1-3. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.

Students know how to design and build simple series and parallel circuits by using components such as wires, batteries, and bulbs.

3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

Students will learn the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces in static electricity through wool and glass rods. Students know that electrically charged objects attract or repel each other.

3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

Students will learn the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces in static electricity through wool and glass rods.

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

Students know how to design and build simple series and parallel circuits by using components such as wires, batteries, and bulbs.
