Intro to Current Electricity 1 - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning

For each of these three topics, current, voltage and resistance, conductors and insulators and circuit symbols and circuit diagrams, the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. They facilitate blended learning and provide equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19.

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

• The three resources in this bundle:
• explain the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
• explore the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit;
• define and explain the terms conductor and insulator;
• identify the basic circuit symbols an introduce recognition of series and parallel circuits;
• provide practice in drawing circuit diagrams from sketches;
• provide practice in designing a test circuit and tables;
• provide practice in building circuits.
