SCIENCE.4.8.C — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

S.4.8.B

identify conductors and insulators of thermal and electrical energy; and

S.4.8.C

demonstrate and describe how electrical energy travels in a closed path that can produce light and thermal energy.

IPC.6.A

design and construct series and parallel circuits that model real-world circuits such as in-home wiring, automobile wiring, and simple electrical devices to evaluate the transfer of electrical energy;

IPC.6.B

design, evaluate, and refine a device that generates electrical energy through the interaction of electric charges and magnetic fields;

PHYS.6.D

analyze, design, and construct series and parallel circuits using schematics and materials such as switches, wires, resistors, lightbulbs, batteries, voltmeters, and ammeters; and

PHYS.6.E

calculate current through, potential difference across, resistance of, and power used by electric circuit elements connected in both series and parallel circuits using Ohm's law.

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
