High School Weekly Lesson Plan Template Week of: 5/5/25 *for additional curriculum information, please visit the district's resource High School Pacing Guides or Georgia Standards of Excellence Course Name: Modified Physical Science Monday SPS10. 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.

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of waves. a. Analyze and interpret data to identify the relationships among wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves and amplitude and energy in mechanical waves. b. Ask questions to compare and contrast the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves. c. Develop models based on experimental evidence that illustrate the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction. Learning Targets: SPS9a: We are learning to explain the relationship between amplitude and energy in a mechanical wave based on data analysis and interpretation. SPS9b: We are learning to compare/contrast characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves. Success Criteria: I will know I am successful when I can . . . Identify, define, and draw longitudinal waves, labeling all parts. Understand that mechanical waves can be longitudinal or transverse. Relate the energy of a mechanical wave to its amplitude.
