A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 3rd lesson in “Chapter 1 - Electricity and Magnetism” from Activate 2, Physics. This lesson is based on the ‘circuits and current’ pages, where students have the opportunity to practice building circuits in a practical activity.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Physics class, even by those where physics is not their specialism.
From this lesson, students should be able to:
- Identify series and parallel circuits from circuit diagrams
- Use circuit diagrams to build simple series and parallel circuits
All of my lesson resources contain:
- A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
- An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
- Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
- Teacher models
- Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes
- Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
- A plenary task
