Circuit Devices Lesson GCSE Physics

Separate lessons for higher and foundation courses on Circuit Devices.

• Combined Science (Foundation)
• Combined Science (Higher) and Single Science
  …
  Learning Objectives
• Describe the function of an LED, LDR and thermistor.
• Explain the shape of resistance graphs for LDRs and thermistors.
• Explain how LRDs and thermistors can be used in sensing circuits.

…
All Lessons Contain

• Starter activity (retrieval practice/recall)
• Teach/Check/Practice (I do/We do/You do) cycles with tasks which demonstrate that the learning objectives have been met in student books
• Check phases are compatible with cold-calling, mini-white boards or can be delivered as quick quizzes in books.
• Practice phases encourage writing in full sentences using correct vocabulary and phrasing
• Opportunities for assessment for learning and independent practice with scaffolded tasks building to independence.
• Self-assessment answer slides
• Challenge extension work for higher ability students
• SEND adaptations: lessons are chunked to avoid working memory overload, blue background for Irlens, word banks are provided, text is broken up for dyslexia and a consistent format is followed for ASD.
