Current Electricity- Conductors and Insulators Explained - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS3

Explaining and demonstrating conductors and insulators in terms of high and low resistance as caused by the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions, the engaging and easy to follow animated PowerPoint then takes the student through designing a test circuit and table then drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.

The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school.

The classroom resource consists of an animated 13 slide PowerPoint and 13 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The 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.

The distance learning pack consists of a 37 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 practical, 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 conductors conduct electricity and non-metals do not.
• To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators.
• To be able to design a test circuit and results table.
• To be able to explain why some materials are conductors.
