Outcomes

In this lesson you will learn about:

1. Rounding off numbers.
2. Estimating answers to calculations.

This YouTube video explores the concepts of approximations and estimations.

• Explore basic electricity relationships.
• Explain basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits.
• Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits.
• Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits.
• Build circuits from schematic drawings.
• Determine if common objects are conductors or insulators.

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.

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 flicker of numbers on a handheld calculator, nerve impulses carrying signals of vision to the brain, an ultrasound device sending a signal to a computer screen, the brain sending a message for a baby to twitch its toes, an electric train pulling into a station, a hydroelectric plant sending energy to metropolitan and rural users—these and many other examples of electricity involve electric current, which is the movement of charge. Humanity has harnessed electricity, the basis of this technology, to improve our quality of life.

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

• Calculate measures of central tendency and percentiles on grouped data.
• Construct a frequency polygon.
• Construct a line graph.

This video explores how to find the mean from data in a table.

This video explores the histogram: which is one of the ways in which to present data.
