Current Electricity Intro 3 Plus Board Game KS3

Three action-packed, engaging and differentiated lessons - What happens to the current and voltage when you add batteries to a circuit and what happens to the current when you increase the resistance? These questions are answered and demonstrated using animated PowerPoints in these three engaging and enjoyable lessons which provide the ideal foundation on which to build your middle school science students’ knowledge of current electricity. This pack guides pupils through planning three experiments to test predictions but provides sample results for drawing conclusions should labs not be possible. To reinforce learning at the end of the module, a board game is included - so enjoyable students won’t realise they are learning.

Included in this pack

• Does Increasing the Number of Batteries Increase the Current in an electrical Circuit?
• Does Increasing the Number of Batteries Increase the Voltage in an electrical Circuit?
• The Relationship Between Current and Resistance in a Circuit Explained
• 54 Question Current Electricity Board Game

What it Covers

• Identifying the positive and negative terminals of a battery and its symbol
• Batteries connected together using the positive to negative terminals
• Batteries contain chemicals which provide the voltage or push
• Batteries provide energy which the electrons use to move through the circuit
• Current and voltage increase with the number of batteries
• Calculating the output of n number of batteries from known numbers of batteries voltages and currents
• Resistance is caused by metal ions
• The more collisions between metal ions and electrons the higher the resistance
• Planning experiments to test a prediction, designing results tables
• Practice in building circuits
• Stages in draw a bar graph

What You Get For each Lesson

• Animated PowerPoint complete with exit ticket quiz
• Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers)
• Anticipation Guide (combined starter and plenary)
• Foldable
• Cut-and-stick activity
• Practical worksheets for labs
• Homeworks
• Worksheets and guided notes
• Taboo Cards
• Pupil progress self-assessment checklist
• PowerPoint with answers /detailed mark schemes for homework/classwork sheets- pupils can self-assess or peer assess.
• An easy to follow one-page flow chart lesson plan indicates where logical choices between resources can be made if required.
