//Key Concepts//
By the end of this course, students will: • assess some of the costs and benefit associated with the production of electrical energy from renewable and non-renewable sources, and analyse how electrical efficiencies and savings can be achieved, through both the design of technological devices and practices in the home; • investigate, through inquiry, various aspects of electricity, including the properties of static and current electricity, and the quantitative relationships between potential difference, current, and resistance in electrical circuits; • demonstrate an understanding of the priciples of static and current electricity.
