Khaemenes High · Physics & Engineering 12

Grade 12 · Week 30 · U8

Circuits & Electrical Energy

Essential question: How do current, voltage, resistance, and power describe circuit behavior?

Standards: HS-PS3-380% mastery + correctionsPortfolio evidence

Open Monday Deep Lesson

Monday

Phenomenon / Launch

Bulbs change brightness when circuit arrangement changes.

Learning target

Build an initial model and explanation for: How do current, voltage, resistance, and power describe circuit behavior?

Evidence task

Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: current; voltage; resistance; series; parallel; power.

Open Tuesday Deep Lesson

Tuesday

Concept & Model Revision

Study and explain the week's core ideas: current; voltage; resistance; series; parallel; power

Reading

Open circuit text.

Evidence task

Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.

Open Wednesday Deep Lesson

Wednesday

Data & Quantitative Reasoning

Ohm's law and electric power.

Evidence task

Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How do current, voltage, resistance, and power describe circuit behavior?

Open Thursday Deep Lesson

Thursday

Investigation / Engineering

Low-voltage battery/LED/resistor lab if supervised, or circuit simulation; never use mains voltage.

Safety boundary

Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.

Evidence task

Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.

Open Friday Deep Lesson

Friday

CER / Synthesis

Answer the essential question: How do current, voltage, resistance, and power describe circuit behavior?

Mastery evidence

Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.

Portfolio

Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
