Complete GCSE Physics lessons on I-V Characteristics using key content from AQA Physics P2.
Starter provides a discussion of graph trends and what graphs tell us, this leads on to wider details of how to interpret graph results and key vocabulary.
Sometime can be spent getting pupils to plan an experiment to investigate I-V characteristics of different electrical components but you can choose to move straight to the guided investigation.
On collection of data for fixed resistors, diodes and filaments bulbs the class can plot their data on graphs.
Key data trends are summarised with explanations of trends for each component.
Exam style questions are provided in the relation the new specification.
Lesson finished with questioning on LDR's and thermistors with an activity which can be in class or for homework.
Lesson Objectives:
1) Identify relationships shown by graphs. (D)
2) Design & carry out an experiment to investigate the relationship between I & V for different electrical components. (C)
3) Explain how current and voltage vary for a filament bulb, diode and fixed resistor. (B)
4) Explain in detail what causes the current and voltage to change for key electrical components. (A)
Note: This lesson is formatted is similar content to previously listed 'I_V charasteristics' but in the new Nteach style and also with new content relevant to the new specification for AQA GCSE Physics. The lesson will be updated as all lessons are as I create new , engaging and challenging content relevant to the subject.
