Ratings for Standards - Houghton Mifflin:
1 Electricity and magnetism are related effects that have many useful applications in everyday life. Moderate   
1a Students know how to design and build simple series and parallel circuits by using components such as wires, batteries, and bulbs. In-Depth   
1b Students know how to build a simple compass and use it to detect magnetic effects, including Earth's magnetic field. In-Depth   
1c Students know electric currents produce magnetic fields and know how to build a simple electromagnet. Moderate   
1d Students know the role of electromagnets in the construction of electric motors, electric generators, and simple devices, such as doorbells and earphones. Moderate   
1e Students know electrically charged objects attract or repel each other. In-Depth   
1f Students know that magnets have two poles (north and south) and that like poles repel each other while unlike poles attract each other. In-Depth   
1g Students know electrical energy can be converted to heat, light, and motion. Limited
