Explain the concept of static electricity using this teacher guide. Contains questions to ask the class when using the simulation, and slides to consolidate learning.
Students quickly explore the idea of static electricity using the balloon simulation to investigate challenge prompts. Slides are included to consolidate learning afterwards.
Introduce the concept of the generator effect in a quick, engaging investigation. Students investigate how to make the brightest possible bulb by electromagnetic induction.
Quickly introduce the concepts of potential difference, current and resistance. Students are given a challenge prompt to investigate factors affecting the brightness of a bulb, and then learning is reviewed.
Using a worksheet, students conduct a lengthy investigation into the relationship between potential difference, current and resistance. Also introduces the idea of proportionality and short circuits.
Using a worksheet, students build series and parallel circuits, and use the ammeter and voltmeter to discover the rules for potential difference, current and resistance in series and parallel circuits.
