Alternating currents - complete lesson (GCSE 1-9)

A complete lesson for the topic of alternating current, based on AQA P5.1 but can be used for other schemes of work. The lesson is differentiated with stretch activities for more able and support sheets for less able. A practical exercise is included where students use oscilloscopes to investigate a.c. currents. The lesson includes timers to promote pace and power-point animations to facilitate Q/A during the review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary is based on students reflection against the learning objectives.
