P4 - ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
Always tough!
I find circuits tough to teach. hopefully these resources will make it so much easier!
TEACHING IDEAS AND RESOURCES
ideas and work sheets
Charge
Worksheet - Higher ANS Foundation ANS
Work sheets to help students with the 'QUIT' equation (Q = i x t)
Resistance
Worksheet - Higher ANS Foundation ANS
Work sheets to help students with the 'VIR' equation (V = I x R)
The Big Questions
Extended writing task to see what the students know.
The big question is for students to analyse a made up circuit that is suppose to be a Tesla charger.
Students should be able to criticise the circuit (cor example the led will always be on)
Series vs Parallel
The worksheet - Here
Using the energy stick this makes live with circuits so much easier. the human skin has a resistance of about 50Ω use the stick to simulate series and parallel with students holding hands- then they can go off and do the practical sheet.
