Teacher reads out answers and groups check answers and complete their score card by awarding the points according to the colour of each question card. The group with the highest number of points wins. Prior Knowledge Required Current is a flow of electrons through a conductor. Conductors heat up when current passes through them. Batteries give the electrons energy. Long wires and thin wires have a higher resistance than short ones. For current to flow a circuit must be complete. Batteries are connected positive to negative. Metal ions cause resistance… Know that conductors conduct electricity and insulators do not. Metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators. Graphite is a non-metal that conducts. Be able to explain why some materials are conductors and others are insulators. Know the symbols for a switch, a resistor, a lamp, a voltmeter, a battery and an ammeter. Recognise a series circuit and a parallel circuit. Match a sketch of a circuit with its circuit diagram.

This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Objective To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.

The A to Z of an enquiry. This is a fully differentiated and resourced enquiry/investigation into how the surface affects the amount of friction. It is suitable for UK levels 3 to 5 and some elements will start more able pupils thinking about some aspects of level 6 work. It consists of a 27 - slide slideshow and systematically takes the pupils through the stages of planning, developing and reflecting. The whole slideshow contains enough material for 3 to 4, one hour lessons depending on ability. The whole slideshow need not be covered and has been designed so that it is easy to select any sections that are required. It has also been designed so that there are challenging questions for more able pupils but clicking to the next slide provides support for those who need it. Many of the slides are animated. The resource has been designed to be sufficiently versatile so as to be suitable as not only as an introduction to enquiry/investigation at secondary level but also for those pupils starting upon the transition from level 5 to level 6. It is full of tips on how to tackle the various parts of an enquiry which pupils will find beneficial for those enquiries they tackle in the future and for coping with enquiry-type questions in examinations. The lessons are easy to follow, enjoyable and easy to teach. Apparatus needed per group is a newtonmeter and a 1Kg mass. I suggest you have an idea of the 5 surfaces to be used in advance and have a selection of different size newtonmeters available. I use the lab floor, the bench, the carpet in the corridor, a wooden dissection board and a Perspex safety screen. Groups of 3 or 4 are ideal. Content Definitions of independent, dependent and control variable, fair test and reliability. The problem posed is “Does surface affect the amount of friction”. Planning the enquiry with a worksheet to accompany which includes peer assessment and pupil response to assessment. Identification of variables Writing a prediction Writing success criteria Designing a table What is an anomalous result and how to recognise it. Improvements Selection of the correct type of graph How to draw the perfect bar graph (animated) Reliability and bias Reflecting on success criteria and learning strategies.
