The amount of effort saved when using machines is called mechanical advantage (MA). Simple machines use mechanical advantage as a key property to their functionality, helping humans perform tasks that would require more force than a person could produce. We will use the lever as an example of a simple machine to illustrate the concept of mechanical advantage.

An interactive lesson discussing congruent triangles.

Outcomes

In this course you will learn about:

1. Conditions for congruency.
2. Proving congruent triangles.

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.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Understand when to use Venn diagrams.
• Draw Venn diagrams.
• Interpret Venn diagrams.

The Earth behaves like a giant bar magnet and as such there is a magnetic field present around it. The Earth’s magnetic field is thought to be caused by flowing liquid metals in the outer core of the planet which causes electric currents and a magnetic field.

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.

This YouTube video delves into the impact that tourism can have on a country's economy.

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.

The idea of the electric field, how it's useful, and explains how the electric field is defined.
