For each of the three topics listed below, the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. Lamps in Series and Parallel Current in Series and Parallel Voltage in Series and Parallel They facilitate hybrid learning and provide equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. Each classroom resource consists of an animated 12 to 15 slide PowerPoint and 12 to 16 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. Each topic comes with a 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. Each distance learning resource consists of a 45 to 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. The practicals, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes 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.

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!

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 one-stop-shop for current electricity and magnetism takes middle school students from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, resistance in conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components, Ohms Law, magnetism and electromagnets. The module is divided into 12 fully resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 12 animated PowerPoints and over 170 assorted printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In eleven of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil. In the 40 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.
