"Electrifying"


 * Topic**: Electricity

1) Current: a) State that current is the rate of flow of charge b) Measure current using an ammeter (to be connected in series)
 * Learning Outcomes**:

2) Potential Difference a) State that a potential difference is required to cause a current to flow b) Measure potential difference using a voltmeter (to be connected in parallel)

3) Resistance a) State that resistance = pd / current and the use of the equation R = V / I b) Show a qualitative understanding of the effect of length and cross-sectional area on the resistance of a metallic conductor

4) Circuits a) Label and interpret circuit diagrams b) Relate the properties and uses of conductors and insulators in electrical appliances and circuits

Pedagogy: 1) Engage - watch the video 2) Explain - understanding what is current and how it can be measured with an ammeter. 3) Explore - understanding relationship between current and potential difference. 4) Exercise - Using the knowledge to work out the exercise 5) Consolidate - Using C-map to link the terms introduced for this topic

1) **ENGAGE**:
