Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Circuits are represented by circuit diagrams in which: - Wires are drawn as straight lines - With component symbols - Right angle corners.
  2. Component symbols to know - Cell - Battery - Wire - Bulb - Switch - Voltmeter - Ammeter
  3. Series circuits consist of only one branch with component placed one after another.
  4. Parallel circuits consist of more than one branch.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
