AQA P2 L6 and L7 RP16 AQA Required Practical IV characteristics of components (2 lessons)

2 complete lessons - AQA P2 L6 and L7 RP16 AQA Required Practical IV characteristics of components (including analysis lesson)

A practical lesson and follow up analysis lesson using the test circuit to investigate the IV characteristics of a filament lamp, fixed resistor and diode, . Designed to be the sixth and seventh lesson taught in P2 of the AQA GCSE physics course, also suitable for higher and foundation tier Trilogy science students.

Set up for 2 x 4 part 50 minute lesson, but adaptable.

This lesson includes 2x MS Word learning mat with accompanying MS PowerPoint presentations including answers for all questions.This also includes a template for a high impact marking task, the exam questions will need to be downloaded from exampro if you have access. These are copywrited (see below)

PLEASE NOTE - AN AQA EXAM QUESTION HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR COPYWRITE REASONS. If you have access to exampro this is easily replaced (I have included a screen grab of the first part of the question to make it easy to find)

Learning Objective
Investigating the IV characteristics of a filament lamp, a diode and a resistor at constant temperature.
Success Criteria
I can understand how an experiment can be designed to test an idea
I can evaluate how an experimental procedure can yield more accurate data
I can interpret and explain graphs using scientific ideas
