Description

Learning Objectives: I can explain that some materials are magnetic, and others are not, and explain what that means. I understand that all materials can be either a conductor or an insulator. I understand that electrical energy travels through conductors and can talk about the everyday uses of conductors and insulators. Working Scientifically: I can plan a fair test by listing a range of dependent and independent variables.
