Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The differences in resistance between conducting and insulating components can be explained by the amount of charged particles (and how much charge they hold) available to move. Conductors have more available charge carriers than insulators.
  2. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is for current to flow through a material / set of components and measured in ohms,
  3. Resistance is the ratio of potential difference (p.d.) to current.
  4. To be able to calculate Resistance given a p.d. and current using R = V / i
  5. To be able to calculate either a p.d. or current given the other and the resistance by rearranging R = V / i

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Why does resistance vary between conducting and insulating components?
    The differences in resistance between conducting and insulating components can be explained by the amount of charged particles (and how much charge they hold) available to move. Conductors have more available charge carriers than insulators.
  2. What is resistance and what is it measured in?
    Resistance is a measure of how hard it is for current to flow through a material / set of components and measured in ohms,
  3. What is resistance the ratio of?
    Resistance is the ratio of potential difference (p.d.) to current.
  4. What equation is used to calculate resistance?
    To be able to calculate Resistance given a p.d. and current using R = V / i
  5. How can the equation for resistance be rearranged to find potential difference or current?
    To be able to calculate either a p.d. or current given the other and the resistance by rearranging R = V / i

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)?
