What are current, voltage and resistance and what is the relationship between them in an electrical circuit? What are the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit? Look no further for a unique and engaging explanation of these concepts! The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. The classroom resource consists of an animated 17 slide PowerPoint and 14 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 49 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. Both these action-packed lessons introduce current as a flow of electrons and explain the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoints. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical (simulated for the distance learning pack) explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Click on the resource for more details on the content of each pack.
