Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Alternating Current and Mains Electricity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.3.1 and 4.2.3.2 / Combined Science 6.2.3.1 and 6.2.3.2.
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
Learning objectives:
- Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference / current.
- Describe the features of mains electricity in the UK including the potential difference and frequency.
- Describe how mains electricity is connected to appliances including the purpose of each part of a three-core cable and a three pin plug.
- Describe the potential dangers of electricity and the purpose of safety features including fuses and earthing.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
