This lesson introduces students to the fundamental concepts of electricity. This is accomplished by addressing questions such as “How is electricity generated,” and “How is it used in every-day life?” The lesson also includes illustrative examples of circuit diagrams to help explain how electricity flows.

The introduction to circuits is actually an introduction to electrical engineering. Every electrical device has a circuit designed by an electrical engineer. 1TeachEngineering.orgWendy Lin (Creator/Editor), Pratt School of Engineering, Duke Universityhttp://www.americanrevolution.com/BenjaminFranklinElectricity.htmhttp://www.msnucleus.org/membership/html/k-6/as/technology/4/ast4_3a.htmlhttp://www.swansontec.com/set.htmS10283CCNorth_CarolinaScience3.03 Design and test an electric circuit as a closed pathway including an energy source, energy conductor, and an energy receiver.44S10283CFNorth_CarolinaScience3.06 Describe and identify materials that are conductors and nonconductors of electricity.44S10283D0North_CarolinaScience3.07 Observe and investigate that parallel and series circuits have different characteristics.44S10283D1North_CarolinaScience3.08 Observe and investigate the ability of electric circuits to produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects.44S10283D2North_CarolinaScience3.09 Recognize lightning as an electrical discharge and show proper safety behavior when lightning occurs.44United StatesCopyright 2012 - Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke Universityhttp://www.teachengineering.org/policy_ipp.phphttp://www.teachengineering.org/2008-09-264Teacher
