Electricity - Lesson Plan
Tenth graders should explain some basic properties of electricity and know how electricity is produced. They should also explain the electrical components that make up electric circuits.
Curated OER
Electrical Energy
Students compare and contrast a cell and a battery. In this physical science instructional activity, students explain how they create energy. They conduct an experiment to apply what they have learned in this instructional activity.
Curated OER
A Solution for Precipitation
Students predict the product of chemical reaction using the solubility rules. In this chemistry lesson, students balance ionic equation. They perform a lab to check if their predicted products are correct.
