Current Electricity KS3 - Save the Technician Escape Room

Finish and reinforce the KS3 current electricity module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior knowledge required: • current, voltage and resistance – defining and understanding, units, measuring; • circuits and symbols; • series and parallel circuits – current, voltage, switches, lamps; • current and voltage varying with number of batteries; • Ohms Law. Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a box with a combination lock containing an antidote to a substance, accidentally ingested by the laboratory. The substance is the departments a prototype, orally administered sunscreen being developed by the department which has unfortunately been found to turn the skin of mice purple and which has not yet been tested on humans and is also therefore potentially toxic. The pack contains: • PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); • crossword; • word search; • dominoes activity; • worksheet Differentiated over 2 versions); • code breaker sheet; • answer keys; • lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual box containing an unopened bottle of a soft drink, with the label removed, for a member of the winning team to take to the technician. In the absence of a locked box, until the code is found, as each group completes a team member can be dispatched to the prep room for the technician to ”try the code”. Alternatively all the combination locks in the science department had been set to the same combination for an escape room lesson including the one used on the box with the antidote in the prep room. The combination has been lost but if the class can open the one in front of them it will open the one on the antidote! The module is available as money-saving bundles or individual topics.

With questions on current, voltage, resistance, conductors and insulators, series and parallel circuits, batteries and ohms law, this quiz-based lesson provides a novel and engaging way for students to thoroughly review the complete current electricity module and produce a clear and concise personalised fact sheet to take away with them to use to rectify any gaps in their knowledge. What You Get Sheet for fact share activity Fact Sheet Smart Board Quiz - Question and answer PowerPoints Two worksheets – differentiated. Answer/mark scheme PowerPoint Sheet for pupils to record quiz answers Suggested lesson plan (one-page flow chart) Lesson structure With the question version of the quiz on the interactive whiteboard, pupils write their answers on their recording sheet. This quiz has a built-in timer for each question but the teacher has control of movement between slides to move from question to question. The answer version of the quiz is then put on the IWB and pupils mark their answers. This version also shows the questions so it is easy for the teacher to go through any explanations necessary. The facts on the fact sheet are mapped to the question numbers in the quiz. Pupils now match and colour on the fact sheet, the numbers of the questions they had wrong on the pupil recording sheet. They then have, to take away with them, a clear and permanent record of facts to be learned. Pupils then tackle the worksheet which is differentiated over two versions.

What happens to the current when you add batteries to a circuit? This fully resourced lesson comes with an animated PowerPoint which explains how a battery produces current then guides the student through planning an investigation to discover what happens when the number of batteries is increased. If the apparatus is not available for a lab, a set of results is provided for students to use to draw a conclusion. What’s Covered A battery has a positive and negative terminal. The long line in the battery symbol represents the positive terminal. Batteries are connected positive to negative. A battery contains chemicals. An electric current is a flow of electrons which pick up energy from the battery. As batteries are added to a circuit the lamp gets brighter. A battery provides the push or voltage to make current flow in a circuit. The higher the voltage of a battery the more current flows in the circuit. Current increases as batteries are added to a circuit. Be able to make a prediction and design an experiment to investigate the relationship between the number of batteries and current. Be able to draw a bar graph. Be able to calculate the output of a number of batteries from known numbers of batteries, voltages and currents. Be able to explain how electrons supply energy to components in a circuit without becoming used up themselves.

Current Electricity - Comparing Lamps in Series Circuits and Parallel Circuits KS3

Pupils learn that, while a parallel circuit has branches, a series circuit does not. By experiment, they will learn that all the lamps in a series circuit are equally bright as indeed they are in a parallel circuit but that identical lamps are brighter when connected in parallel than in series. Lastly, they will show experimentally that lamps in parallel remain on when one is removed but go out when one is removed from a series circuit. Objective To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer. To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change. To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness. To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out. To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.
