90941: Investigate implications of electricity and magnetism on
everyday life
Updated June 2014. This document has been updated in its entirety to address new issues that have
arisen from moderation.
The outcome of this standard has two key parts:
• Investigate information. The aim here is to locate and select primary and/or secondary information
for the report by using an investigation or research approach.
• Report on the implications of electricity and magnetism on everyday life.
The assessment activity and the judgement of the associated evidence need to cover both aspects of
this standard.
An implication involves an application of the science that links to a use by society.
For example: the science that lies behind circuit electricity and why specific circuits are used in household
wiring.
This data can be collected individually or as part of a group. Students must provide evidence that is at
the national standard for both of the criteria bullet pointed above.
Reporting on implications of electricity and magnetism on everyday life is the critical component of this
standard.
