Investigate methods of producing electrical energy.

Indicators for this outcome
(a) Compare the characteristics of different energy sources (e.g., light energy, chemical energy, heat energy, piezoelectric effect, friction and mechanical-magnetic).
(b) Explain how electrical energy is produced from different sources.
(c) Test for the presence of a static electric charge on an object (e.g., ebonite or plastic rod rubbed with fur).
(d) Measure the voltage produced by a simple voltaic cell.
(e) Investigate the operation of a thermocouple.
(f) Examine how a piezoelectric device (e.g., phonograph pick up cartridge) can generate electrical energy.
(g) Explore how to generate electrical current using a permanent magnet and a coil of wire.
