Goal 3: The learner will make observations and conduct investigations to build an understanding of magnetism and electricity.

3.01) Observe and investigate the pull of magnets on all materials made of iron and the pushes or pulls on other magnets.
3.02) Describe and demonstrate how magnetism can be used to generate electricity.
3.03) Design and test an electric circuit as a closed pathway including an energy source, energy conductor, and an energy receiver.
3.04) Explain how magnetism is related to electricity.
3.05) Describe and explain the parts of a light bulb.
3.06) Describe and identify materials that are conductors and nonconductors of electricity.
3.07) Observe and investigate that parallel and series circuits have different characteristics.
3.08) Observe and investigate the ability of electric circuits to produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects.
3.09) Recognize lightning as an electrical discharge and show proper safety behavior when lightning occurs.
