This is the first lesson in a series of lessons for the new AQA (9-1) GCSE course. It is an introductory lesson to electricity, and this resource can be used for any group, but is mainly made with a low ability group in mind. It could be used as a KS3 resource to introduce electricity. Lesson contains a starter on the value of symbols/logos, and goes through the meaning of circuits and symbols, and contains a quiz/few practical exercises to get students used to making and drawing circuits. Lesson ends with a plenary of exam questions.

Learning Objectives Use an equation to work out how efficient a system is Give the efficiency of a system in percentage Complete a practical to work out the efficiency of a system

Learning Objectives Define power Learn and use the power equation, stating the units for power Complete an experiment to find the power of a system

Learning Objectives Define specific heat capacity Learn the specific heat capacity equation and use it to calculate energy transfers Explain why certain materials are useful due to their specific heat capacities

Learning Objectives Describe situations where an object will gain or lose gravitational potential energy State the energy transfers that take place for a falling or rising object Calculate changes in gravitational potential energy

Learning Objectives Describe situations where an object will gain or lose elastic potential energy State the energy transfers that take place when an object is stretched or compressed Calculate changes in elastic potential energy

Learning Objectives State what is meant by kinetic energy Describe what will affect the amount of kinetic energy of a system Recall and use the kinetic energy equation

Learning Objectives Define what is meant by a system Describe common energy forms Describe the useful and wasteful energy transfers when a system undergoes a change

Lesson Objectives Recall facts about the five key topic areas Apply knowledge of five topics to answer questions Create a series of revision questions Rules: Students work in groups to compete to be the first team to complete all questions. Each group will send one person up to the teacher to collect their first question, and take it back to their table for answering. Once the group believes to have completed their question, it is taken back to the teacher who will check. If it is correct, the student will take back the next question. If it is incorrect, then they will have to go back and try again. The first team to complete all questions (or the most in the time allowed) will win!
