A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 9th lesson in “Chapter 1 - Electricity and Magnetism” from Activate 2, Physics.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Physics class, even by those where physics is not their specialism.
This lesson contains a class practical where students investigate the effect that increasing the potential difference on a power pack has on the number of paperclips that can be picked up by a simple electromagnet.
From this lesson, students should be able to:
- Describe the magnetic field around a single wire with current flowing through it
- Describe how to make an electromagnet
- Describe how to increase the strength of an electromagnet
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

Dual coding used on slides which is great, very engaging and interactive for pupils. Lots of real world examples to make learning relevant. Practical instruction slides are chunked and risk assessment included. Great!
