Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students compare and contrast series and parallel circuits for their properties.
• Students calculate the resistance, voltage and current in each circuit using the specific formulas for series and parallel circuits.
• Students analyze and design circuits.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students apply Ohm's Law to calculate voltage, current and resistance of circuits.
• Students apply Ohm's Law to predict how voltage, current and resistance affect each other.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

• Students describe how resistance, current and voltage apply in an electric circuit.
• Students observe how the resistance of a wire can be changed.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12

Students calculate power and energy of given circuits.
Students understand and apply safety rules when they are using electricity.
Students problem solve house project issues so that they understand how short circuits, fuses, voltage sources and multimeters affect how their circuits work.
