Starting with the circuit symbols for the electrical components a battery, lamp, ammeter, voltmeter, switch, and resistor, this action-packed distance or remote learning package then shows how to use them to construct circuit diagrams of both series circuits and parallel circuits from sketches and descriptions of electrical circuits. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. The classroom resource consists of an animated 15 slide PowerPoint and 12varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 49 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional 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. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. The practical, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. Objective To be able to recognise and draw the symbols for a battery, lamp, voltmeter, ammeter, switch, resistor and motor. To be able to draw simple and more complex circuit diagrams from sketches of circuits with actual apparatus. To be able to recognise and draw series and parallel circuits.

This action-packed distance or home learning pack explains everything a student needs to know about current and voltage in series and parallel circuits. Students will also practice drawing circuit diagrams from descriptions and designing results tables. 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 practicals take the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. Objective To know that: voltage is measured in volts (v); voltage is measured by a voltmeter placed in parallel in a circuit. the battery voltage is shared across all the components in a series circuit and understand why; the voltage across each component is the same as that across the battery in a parallel circuit and understand why; units for current is the amp (A). ammeters measure current and are used in series. current is the same at all points in a series circuit; current divides in a parallel circuit; adding the current in each branch of a series circuit gives the current in the main part. To be able to: draw series and parallel circuits from descriptions and sketches; deduce voltmeter readings in series and parallel circuits; deduce readings on ammeters and voltmeters in series and parallel circuits. Resources An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by: explaining how to use distance learning effectively; explaining how to use this resource; explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress. Digital quick test. For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school. Ways to Use this Resource Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets. Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet and provide a hardcopy of worksheets for students. Those families who do not wish to collect worksheets or who are in isolation can print the worksheets at home. Students without photocopying facilities are instructed to write their answers in full sentences and to writs a sentence to describe any circuit diagrams drawn.

What are current, voltage and resistance and what is the relationship between them in an electrical circuit? What are the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit? Look no further for a unique and engaging explanation of these concepts! The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home.

These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. Both these action-packed lessons introduce current as a flow of electrons and explain 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 PowerPoints. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical (simulated for the distance learning pack) explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Click on the resource for more details on the content of each pack.
