Uncountable times every day with the merest flick of a finger each one of us calls on electricity to do our bidding. What would your life be like without electricity? Students begin learning about electricity with an introduction to the most basic unit in ordinary matter, the atom. Once the components of an atom are addressed and understood, students move into the world of electricity. First, they explore static electricity, followed by basic current electricity concepts such as voltage, resistance and open/closed circuits. Next, they learn about that wonderful can full of chemicals the battery. Students may get a "charge" as they discover the difference between a conductor and an insulator. The unit concludes with lessons investigating simple circuits arranged "in series" and "in parallel," including the benefits and unique features associated with each. Through numerous hands-on activities, students move cereal and foam using charged combs, use balloons to explore electricity and charge polarization, build and use electroscopes to evaluate objects' charge intensities, construct simple switches using various materials in circuits that light bulbs, build and use simple conductivity testers to evaluate materials and solutions, build and experiment with simple series and parallel circuits, design and build their own series circuit flashlight, and draw circuits using symbols.

The Secondary PAA Implementation Support organization houses a variety of materials to support the implementation of several PAA curricula. As members of implementation working teams, teachers developed, adapted or identified resources/materials for:
Accounting 10, 20, 30; Career and Work Exploration 10, 20, A30, B30; Financial Literacy 20, 30; Information Processing 10, 20, 30; and, Robotics and Automation 10, 20, 30. Disclaimer: These resources have not undergone a formal evaluation. Due to copyright permissions, full access to this space is limited to educators in Saskatchewan.
Educators can self-enrol in the organization after logging into Blackboard. Please note that any teacher in Saskatchewan has access to these resources.

Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to students the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over some period of time. Students create a model waterwheel and use it to calculate the amount of power produced and work done.
