What do doorbells, microwaves, and speakers all have in
common? They all use Electricity and Magnetism. You
experience Electricity and Magnetism in many areas of life,
even if you don’t see it. Electricity and Magnetism are
found in many fields: entertainment, construction, and
medical.
It is important to understand the basics of electricity and
magnetism in order to apply the concepts to real-world
experiences. Review the following resources to strengthen
your background knowledge on the basics of electricity
and magnetism.

BCPS Curriculum
4 Students will analyze data obtained from observations of real-life events and make
predictions about the impact of electricity on the human body.
Maryland State Curriculum
1.5 The student will use appropriate methods for communicating in writing and orally
the processes and results of scientific investigation.
Common Core State Standards
Reading: 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical
inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support
conclusions drawn from the text.
Writing: 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused
questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
Standards for the 21st Century Learner
1.1.6 Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format (e.g. textual,
visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning.
2.1.3 Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to
curricular areas, real-world situations, and further investigations.
ISTE NETS S
1 Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop
innovative products and processes using technology.
3 Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.
