I am learning about electric currents so that I can explain how electricity moves through a conductor. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain how a circuit helps transfer energy. I am learning how to build a series circuit and a parallel circuit so that I can observe similarities and differences. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain how the circuit proves that energy was transferred by electric current. I am learning how the particles of a substance move in hot and cold water so that I can understand how temperature affects movement of particles. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can make a claim about how particles move in a liquid as the temperature changes.
