Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Required Practical - Resistance of components
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The greater the resistance of the component the smaller the current for a given potential difference (pd) across the component.
  2. Students should be able to use graphs to explore whether circuit elements are linear or non-linear and relate the curves produced to their function and properties.
  3. Required practical 4 - resistors
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Diode: A resistor allowing current to flow in one direction only. (2)
  • Filament lamp: he filament lamp is a common type of light bulb. It contains a thin coil of wire called the filament. This heats up when an electric current passes through it (1)
  • LDR: Light Dependent Resistor (1)
  • Thermistor: A resistor that is sensitve to temperature changes. (1)
  • Variable resistor: A resistor that can vary the flow of current in a circuit. (1)
  • Resistor: a device having resistance to the passage of an electric current. (1)
  • Current (1)
  • Potential difference (1)
  • voltmeter (1)
  • Linear relationship: A relationship that is directly proportional (1)
  • Resistance (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How would a high resistance of a component affect the current and potential difference across the component?
    The greater the resistance of the component the smaller the current for a given potential difference (pd) across the component.
  2. How could you use a graph to identify if a circuit was linear or non-linear and relate the curves to their function and properties?
    Draw a graph to identify if the line is straight or curved (linear or not) then relate this to what the elements function is Diode - current flowing only in one direction (linear then plateaus) resistor (constant temperature) restricts the flow of current, filament lamp curving graph showing that current and potential difference are not directily proportional.

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
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
