Intro to Current Electricity 2

Three lessons to introduce current electricity including lamps in series and parallel, current in series and parallel circuits and voltage in series and parallel circuits . Bespoke each of the three lessons to take account of pupil ability, time available to teach the topic and departmental focus using an animated PowerPoint for teaching, a PowerPoint with detailed mark schemesfor easy self-assessment and peer assessment and up to 14 engaging and challenging resources making 6 PowerPoints and 37 differentiated resources in total. This pack also includes a 35 Question quiz game which can be played by individuals or teams. Three suggested lesson plans showing where the logical choices between resources can be made are also included.

With 35 individual learning outcomes which can be viewed in the preview, in short, this bundle:

• introduces the idea of a parallel circuits having branches
• compares the brightness of identical lamps in series and parallel
• looks at the effect of removing a lamp in series and parallel;
• introduces the amp and the purpose and positioning of ammeters;
• compares current in series and parallel circuits;
• introduces the volt and the purpose and positioning of voltmeters;
• compares voltage in series and parallel circuits;
• enables pupils to determine current and voltage in series and parallel circuits;
• provides practice in designing a test circuit and tables;
• provides practice in building circuits.

The resources include elements of literacy and oracy and frequent opportunities for assessment for learning provided by self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment. All assessment is supported by PowerPoints with detailed answer and mark schemes.

The 37 differentiated, engaging and challenging resources include:

• Flip its (pupil writes questions to given answers);
