The purpose of this activity is to bridge the gap between grade 9 electricity and grade 11 physics. In grade 9 you focus on current, voltage and resitance. This activity focuses on bringing these concepts in the relm of grade 11 and how these concepts focus on everyday life. This activity will also expand into induced current, alternating current, power and transformers.
