Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we draw circuits?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Circuit diagrams use standard symbols (draw and intrepret)
  2. For electrical charge to flow through a closed circuit the circuit must include a source of potential difference.
  3. Electric current is a flow of electrical charge.
  4. The size of the electric current is the rate of flow of electrical charge.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Circuit diagram: Various electrical components are shown by using standard symbols in circuit diagrams. (1)
  • Voltmeter: Instrument used to measure Voltage. (1)
  • Ammeter: Instrument used to measure Current. (1)
  • Battery: Made from more than one cell. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How would you draw a series circuit with the following components; a bulb, voltmeter, battery and variable resistor?
    Battery symbol connected with a straight line to a bulb which has a votmeter in parallel across this component, a straight line to the variable resisior and a final straight line back to the battery.
  2. What provides the potential difference for an electrical charge to flow through a closed circuit?
    A cell or Battery
  3. What is the definition of electric current?
    Electric current is the rate of flow of electrical charge.
  4. What is the size of an electrical current determined by?
    The size of the electric current is the rate of flow of electrical charge.

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
