This action-packed distance or home learning package demonstrates what happens when lamps are added and removed in series and parallel circuits.
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 practical takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
- To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer.
- To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change.
- To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness.
- To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out.
- To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.
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, a 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.
-
For those students without internet or a computer at home, a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided.
-
Digital quick test

Intro to Current Electricity 2 - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning for KS3
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.
