Measuring current

Planned using the Principles of Practice to ensure good implementation. Begins with a recall quiz (to promote pupil discussion). Quiz questions included. The following slides are animations to recall what happens in an electrical circuit (flow of electrons and energy). Lesson introduces the use of an ammeter to measure current and series and parallel circuits. Students are then asked to create specific circuits, some of which are series and some are parallel. Students record the ammeter reading and make a conclusion about current in series and
