In this lesson you will learn that:

• Circuit diagrams are used to show how electrical components are connected in a circuit.
• Individual circuit components are represented using circuit symbols.
• Current is the flow of electrons around a circuit.
• Ammeters are used to measure the current flowing through components. 
• Components in a circuit resist current flow.
• Voltmeters are used to measure the potential difference across components.

An introduction to the difference between distance traveled and displacement.

Using a one-dimensional number line to visualise and calculate distance and displacement.

Outcomes:

• Design a diet and exercise regimen.
• Estimate the number of calories required for basic survival.
• Estimate the number of calories burned by exercise.
• Explain how heart health depends on diet and exercise.
• Explain how Body Mass Index (BMI) depends on weight and height.

As a student, you'll encounter vast amounts of information. Beyond academic material, you must process and interpret news, instructions, communications, and a wealth of other data. You'll also need to separate fact from opinion, and understand the quality of sources. The stronger your reading capabilities, the more efficiently and effectively you can turn information into knowledge.

You have learnt about static electricity where charged particles (electrons) can move from one object into another giving objects an overall charge. In this unit1 you will learn about current electricity. This is when a continuous flow of charge can be created using a circuit made of conducting wires and an energy source.
