Current Electricity - Current Voltage and Resistance Explained KS3
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.
To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.
How it Works
The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.
