GCSE AQA Physics lesson on Parallel Circuits including key content from AQA Physics exam specification.
Starter uses 'Taboo' game to review the topic of electric circuits using cards in Taboo sheet, need cutting into cards beforehand.
Following recap of key electric terms an animated model is used to compare series and parallel circuits.
An experiment requires 6 simple parallel circuits to be built by pupils to investigate parallel circuits, this is then summarised. (Support sheet included for pupils that may struggle drawing circuits)
A collection of question applies parallel circuit rules to problems.
Plenary uses a written task in the style of a 6 mark exam question which can then be peer marked by pupils.
1) Review series circuits rules (D)
2) Explain the circuit rules for components in parallel circuits. (C)
3) Investigate potential difference and current in parallel circuits. (B)
4) Apply the parallel circuit rules to problems. (A)
Note: This lesson is formatted is similar content to previously listed 'Parallel Circuits' but in the new Nteach style and also with new content relevant to the new specification for AQA GCSE Physics. The lesson will be updated as all lessons are as I create new , engaging and challenging content relevant to the subject.

This lesson was not so good, it was more of a series circuit recap rather than a parallel circuit lesson. Very disappointed.
