Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
1 Electricity and magnetism are related effects that have many useful applications in everyday life.
Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
 |
Unit 2 in Physical Science is extraneous to Grade 4 California Science Standards. An earlier printing of this text has many error-filled correlations of the text with the standards. |
Features that help student learning:
Three of the standards (1a, 1e, and 1g) are treated in depth.
Features that do not help student learning:
Unit 2 in physical science is extraneous to the standards and framework. Even within Unit 5 on Electricity and Magnetism, text contains lots of extraneous information that is not necessary for student understanding or mastery of the standards.
Ratings for Standards - McGraw Hill:
| 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. |
Moderate |
|
| 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. |
Moderate |
|
| 1g Students know electrical energy can be converted to heat, light, and motion. |
