Electricity _Building a circuit. (15 slides)

Electricity Unit: Building a circuit. (15 slides)

Lesson 1. Building a simple circuit. Lesson 1 focuses on what is needed to make an electrical circuit work. A Power source , conductors and a complete circuit.

The whole unit has been designed to be used either in a classroom environment or as an online activity.

It has also been designed to give those teachers who lack confidence to teach the basics of electricity a means of doing so. The beauty of using the simulator is that it does what the theory states ought to happen, unlike what often happens in the laboratory!
Written as a power point presentation means that the lessons seamlessly upload to Google. Once uploaded the power point can be turned into Google slides and can be shared with students in Google classroom.
There are 2 sets of slides for each lesson. One set is for the students while the other set is an identical set but includes notes for teachers.
If you are intending to work with Google slides, then I suggest you create a folder in your Google drive and upload both the student slides and the teacher slides to this folder. Once uploaded you will then need to open the power point slides as a Google slide, when prompted to do so, before you share it with your students in Google classroom. When sharing with students in Google classroom don’t forget to a “make a copy” for each student prior to assigning.
Each set of slides (power points) is divided into a new lesson.

To personalize your slides:

For some students uploading a recording (video or audio) to the slides might be helpful and give confidence to students who find reading difficult.
