Electricity: Circuits, Current and Charge: a complete, no-prep PowerPoint lesson for AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (Trilogy), with exam questions, worked examples, tasks and answers – no worksheets needed.

Covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.1.2 / Combined Science 6.2.1.1 and 6.2.1.2: circuit symbols and circuit diagrams, cells and batteries, current as the rate of flow of charge, why current needs a source of potential difference, current in series circuits, and calculations with Q = It.

This is the first lesson in the electricity teaching sequence. It is also in my Electricity Topic Bundle (7 lessons), which covers the whole topic: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bundle-electricity-in-circuits-topic-12660191

As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.

My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.

What’s Included:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.

Learning objectives:

  • Draw and interpret circuit diagrams, including by using circuit symbols correctly.
  • Describe the difference between a battery and a cell.
  • Describe current as a flow of electrical charge and the size of the current as the rate of flow of electrical charge.
  • Explain why current requires a source of potential difference.
  • Explain why current has the same value at any point in series circuit.
  • Recall and apply: Charge Flow (Q) = Current (I) x time (t)

The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

Electricity Topic Bundle – AQA GCSE Physics & Combined Science

**Electricity Topic Bundle: 7 complete, No-Prep PowerPoint lessons** for AQA GCSE Physics and Combined Science (Trilogy), with **exam questions, worked examples, tasks and answers** – no worksheets needed. Covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.1 to 4.2.4 and Combined Science 6.2.1 to 6.2.4: circuit symbols, current and charge, potential difference and resistance, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, AC and mains electricity, energy transfers and power, and the National Grid, including the equations Q = It, V = IR, P = IV, P = I²R, E = Pt and E = QV. This bundle covers the complete topic for Combined Science and GCSE Physics (except for Required Practical instructions) but does not contain the GCSE Physics-only lessons on Static Electricity and Electric Fields.
