                                    Electricity and Magnetism

                   There are three main concepts that students need to understand for this unit.

        1.   Forces can act on an object without anything touching the object.

        2.   Electricity requires a closed loop of conducting materials to produce

           measurable effects.

       

               At the end of this unit the students should be able to answer the following questions:

    1.   How can something change its motion if nothing touches it?

   2.   How does a circuit work?

   3.   How does a magnet interact with other objects?

        3.   A magnet interacts with other magnets and objects containing certain  

           elements, such as iron, nickel, or cobalt.
