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 results table and test circuit. If apparatus is available the student can then test different materials themselves or alternatively use the results demonstrated in the PowerPoint in order to conclude that metals are conductors and non – metals are insulators.
Objective
- To know that conductors conduct electricity and insulators 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 explain why some materials are conductors or insulators in terms of the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions

Current Electricity KS3 - The Complete Module
This one-stop-shop for current electricity at KS3 takes pupils from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, the resistance of conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components and finishes with Ohms Law.<br /> <br /> A free bonus package of a board game, card sort and smart board quiz are included.<br /> <br /> The module is divided into 11 fully-resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 11 animated PowerPoints and 147 assorted printables making even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In ten of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil.<br /> <br /> In the 39 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy.

Intro to Current Electricity 1 - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning
For each of these three topics, current, voltage and resistance, conductors and insulators and circuit symbols and circuit diagrams, the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. They facilitate blended learning and provide equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. Each classroom resource consists of an animated 12 to 15 slide PowerPoint and 12 to 16 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. Each topic comes with a 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. Each distance learning resource consists of a 45 to 49 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 practicals, 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** * The three resources in this bundle: * explain the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; * explore the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit; * define and explain the terms conductor and insulator; * identify the basic circuit symbols an introduce recognition of series and parallel circuits; * provide practice in drawing circuit diagrams from sketches; * provide practice in designing a test circuit and tables; * provide practice in building circuits.
