All they need to know for IGCSE/GCSE Physics. The transformers lesson (also available from the same author) follows on nicely from this. This assumes you have a generator/dynamo to demonstrate and you have wire/magnets/multimeters for them to induce their own current.

Students investigate length of day in Summer/Winter. Each group of students need a light source and access to a globe (blow up ones will do). The instructions are quite hard to follow so perhaps groups could be organized by ability. If there are very low ability students in the class, the teacher could assist the lower ability group.
