The KS3 Physics Multiple Choice Questions 10 Questions are selected at random from big databases. On repeating the quiz, you should get all/mainly new questions. ! Electric circuits Yr 7 - from teachers. Electric circuits some of the key words What F is an electrical safety device?. What V is always connected to a circuit in parallel?. What E is the particle with a negative charge which flows around a circuit?. What I is something that wont let electricity pass through it?.

What M is the type of material which are always good conductors?. Solar System (7L) Seasons, Phases and Eclipses (KS3) : Schools. Science lesson plans: Unit 6e: Forces in action lesson plans: Key stage 1 & 2 lesson plans: Primary school lessons: Schoolsnet. Home / Lessons / Primary Lessons / Science Unit 6e: Forces in action Audience: Key Stage 2 Year Group: 6 In this unit children apply their knowledge of a variety of forces, including magnetic attraction, gravitational attraction and friction.

Children learn about the changes in motion which occur when forces act on an object. Scheme of work Download the Scheme of work from the DfES Standards Site. Lesson plans Lesson plan 1: Gravity Children will know that the Earth and objects are pulled towards each other and that this gravitational attraction causes objects to have weight. Lesson plan 2: Force direction and diagrams Children will learn that forces act in a particular direction. Lesson plan 3: Forces in water Children will be able to explain that when an object is at rest there are still forces acting on it and that these forces are balanced.

Lesson plan 4: Stretching elastic bands Children will know that how much an elastic band stretches depends on the force acting on it. Worksheets Websites. Models of electric circuits. At some point during the early teaching of electric circuits, students will want to know what an electric current is.

Models of electric circuits

Indeed students may already have their own ideas about what it is and how it behaves. There has been much research into the ideas students bring to their lessons, and the misunderstandings they develop during the teaching/learning process. Electric current is known only by its heating, magnetic or chemical effects. Beyond this there are only models which explain such effects and make possible reliable predictions. Misconceptions common among students Teachers' models There are many models which teachers use to describe electric circuits. When discussing the water circuit as a model for an electric circuit, you could say to students: ‘There is something the same all the way round the circuit, the same reading with a simple ammeter, or the same brightness of a series of lamps.

Electric circuit analogies - current models, stories and visualizations

One person is the battery and pulls the loop through their hands. Another person is the resistance and squeezes the rope. Friction with the hands of the resistor person means they can feel the energy transferred as heat. There are some nice points to this analogy. You can also intuitively get big resistance means small current and you can see that energy is transferred where there is a big resistance. It's not very good at explaining voltage or power. In other words, there's quite a temptation for the battery person to pull harder and harder as the resistance increases. In fact the opposite is the case. The band saw This is a very similar analogy to the rope-loop. Uneven ground.
