This is a challenging, engaging and enjoyable boardgame, for up to six pupils per set, with 54 question cards on the basics of current electricity including:
• understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance;
• conductors and insulators;
• circuit symbol;
• circuits diagrams;
• units and measurement of current and voltage;
• current and voltage in series and parallel circuits;
• lamps in series and parallel.
• current and voltage vary with number of batteries.
• relationship between resistance and current.
Included in this Pack
• Game board
• 54 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty
• Teacher answer sheet
• Instruction sheet.
Resources are in colour and greyscale
How to Play
• Highest dice throw starts
• Pupils take turns, following instructions in the squares.
• Certain squares instruct the pupil to take a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces.
• If a player thinks an opponent’s answer is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces.
• In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.
Prior Knowledge Required
• Symbols for switch, resistor, battery, voltmeter, ammeter, motor, buzzer and recognise series and parallel circuits.
• Metals and non-metals as conductors and insulators.
• Current is a flow of electrons and metal ions cause resistance.
• Batteries contain chemicals and provide the push or voltage to current.
• Voltage is the difference in energy level between two points in a circuit.
• Comparative resistance of long/short, thin/thick wires.
• Insulators have high resistances and the resistance of all conductors is comparatively lower.
• Comparative brightness of identical lamps in series and parallel and the effect of removing a lamp.
• Ammeters are used in series and voltmeters in parallel.
• Current is measured in amps and voltage in volts.
• Current and voltage in series and parallel circuits.
• Current and voltage vary with number of batteries.
• Metal ions causing high and low resistance conductors.
• Relationship between resistance and current.

Current Electricity KS3 - The Complete Module
This one-stop-shop for current electricity at KS3 takes pupils from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, the resistance of conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components and finishes with Ohms Law.<br /> <br /> A free bonus package of a board game, card sort and smart board quiz are included.<br /> <br /> The module is divided into 11 fully-resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 11 animated PowerPoints and 147 assorted printables making even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In ten of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil.<br /> <br /> In the 39 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic.<br /> <br /> <br /> Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.<br /> <br /> <br /> What You Get<br /> * 11 Animated PowerPoints- each includes an exit ticket /plenary quiz<br /> * 13 Cut and stick<br /> * 11 Anticipation guide(starter and plenary)<br /> * 11 Flip Its<br /> * 11 sets of Taboo Cards<br /> * 10 Worksheets for practicals<br /> * 11 Fact sheets<br /> * 11 Foldables<br /> * 11 Fact Share Worksheets<br /> * 39 Differentiated homework/classwork worksheets<br /> * 11 PowerPoints with answers /detailed mark schemes for homework/classwork<br /> * 11 Flow chart lesson plan<br /> * Exit ticket template <br /> * ABC card template<br /> <br /> Sequence of Topics<br /> * Current, Voltage and Resistance<br /> * Conductors and Insulators<br /> * Circuits and Symbols<br /> * 42 Question Card Sort Team Game<br /> * Lamps in Series and Parallel<br /> * Current in Series and Parallel<br /> * Voltage in Series and Parallel<br /> * 35 Question Interactive Quiz<br /> * Does the Number of Batteries Affect Current?
