Current Electricity - Batteries and Current Explained - Distance Learning or Homeschool for KS3
This is an action-packed distance learning or homeschool lesson on the relationship between the number of batteries and current.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The 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.
The simulated practical takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
• To know that an electric current is a flow of electrons which pick up energy from the battery.
• To know that as batteries are added to a circuit current increases and the lamp gets brighter.
• To be able to make a prediction and design an experiment to investigate the relationship between the number of batteries and current.
• To be able to draw a bar graph.
• To be able to calculate the output of n number of batteries from known numbers of batteries, voltages and currents.

Fertilization
Seed dispersal
Germination
What You Get
90 dominoes
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

What You Get
90 dominoes
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
