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.

This action-packed distance or home learning pack explains everything a student needs to know about current, voltage and lamps in series and parallel circuits. Students will also practice drawing circuit diagrams from descriptions and designing results tables. This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The 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. The simulated practicals take the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. Objective To know that: voltage is measured in volts (v); voltage is measured by a voltmeter placed in parallel in a circuit. the battery voltage is shared across all the components in a series circuit and understand why; the voltage across each component is the same as that across the battery in a parallel circuit and understand why; units for current is the amp (A). ammeters measure current and are used in series. current is the same at all points in a series circuit; current divides in a parallel circuit; adding the current in each branch of a series circuit gives the current in the main part. if lamps are identical in a parallel circuit, the same current will flow through each; as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer; as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change; if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness; if the lamps in a parallel circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness; if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out; if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on. To be able to: draw series and parallel circuits from descriptions and sketches; deduce voltmeter readings in series and parallel circuits; deduce readings on ammeters and voltmeters in series and parallel circuits. Resources An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by: explaining how to use distance learning effectively; explaining how to use this resource; explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress. Digital quick test. For those students without internet or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided.

Prior Knowledge Required The symbols for switch, resistor, battery, voltmeter, ammeter, motor, buzzer and able to recognise series and parallel circuits. Metals and non-metals as conductors and insulators. Current is a flow of electrons and metal ions cause resistance. Batteries contain chemicals and provide the push or voltage to current. Voltage is the difference in energy level between two points in a circuit. Comparative resistance of long/short, thin/thick wires. Know that insulators have high resistances and the resistance of all conductors is comparatively lower. Comparative brightness of identical lamps in series and parallel and the effect of removing a lamp. Ammeters are placed in series and voltmeters in parallel. Current is measured in amps and voltage in volts. Current in series and parallel circuits. Voltage in series and parallel circuits. Elf Off the Shelf Shop Links to other resources in this series.

Periodic Table of Elements Dominoes Game KS3

(0)
A dominoes game for middle with questions and statements on the Periodic Table of elements instead of numbers to consolidate learning at the end of the topic or for revision. The game can be played with or without the students being given a copy of the enclosed periodic table. Prior Knowledge Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number. Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two. Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals. Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods. Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right. The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties. Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals. On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group. Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7; are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts. Alkali metal + water --> alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen lithium + water --> lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen. What You Get 90 dominos Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play. Periodic table Rules of the Game Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
