Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Circuits, Current and Charge for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics, covering all of exam spec points 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.1.2 / 6.2.1.1 and 6.2.1.2. This is the first lesson in the teaching sequence. 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 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: Current 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.

Included in the resource: 15 circuit component information sheets (2 per A4 sheet) Including component name, electrical circuit symbol and it’s role in an electrical circuit. Examples: fuse, switch, bulb, diode, thermistor, resistor, battery etc . . . A student information collection table Used to gather the information from the sheets in one place. Students are advised to fill in the table as far as they can, then use the information sheets for assistive learning. This resource is ideal for a student focused approach to teaching electrical circuit symbols. I print off the information sheets and stick them around the classroom. Students can then roam around with their collection tables and fill them in as they pass each information sheet or ‘collection point’. Practical, keeps the students engaged and no further preparation required. Just print!

This is a project booklet which pupils used to help them design a houes. They completed a project over a few weeks where they had to complete the tasks within the book and build a model house which was as energy efficient as possible. They then had to present their house to the class and were graded on their ability to present and explain their ideas scientifically. I did this with a year seven class who did struggle with a couple of bits but it can always be tweaked to suit.
