Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of and relationships between electricity and magnetism. a. Use mathematical and computational thinking to support a claim regarding relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. b. Develop and use models to illustrate and explain the conventional flow (direct and alternating) of current and the flow of electrons in simple series and parallel circuits. (Clarification statement: Advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits should be addressed.) Learning Targets: SPS10b: We are learning to develop and use models to illustrate and explain the conventional flow (direct and alternating) of current and the flow of electrons in simple series and parallel circuits. Success Criteria: I will know I am successful when I can . . . Create and compare both series and parallel circuits Use models of series and parallel circuits to identify at least two advantages and two disadvantages of both series and parallel circuits.
