Current, voltage, resistance, electrical symbols and circuit diagrams, series and parallel circuits, switches, batteries and ohm’s law are all explained in these eleven action-packed distance or remote learning packages which cover all the topics included in current electricity for KS3.

These resources have been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.

The simulated practicals take the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.

Topics included

• Explaining Current, Voltage and Resistance
• Conductors and Insulators
• Circuits and Symbols
• Lamps in Series and Parallel
• Current in Series and Parallel
• Voltage in Series and Parallel
• Batteries and Current
• Batteries and Voltage
• Resistance and Current
• Switches
• Ohms Law

Resources

1. An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by:

• explaining how to use distance learning effectively;
• explaining how to use this resource;
• explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
• providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work.

1. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint.

2. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning.

3. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress.

4. For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.
