This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Physics GCSE, particularly the 'Electricity’ SoW.
 
The lesson begins with a video on electrical current and charge flow, students will need to answer a set of questions whilst they are watching the video. This work can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided.
 
Next, is a ‘Quick Check’ task where students will need to answer a set of questions using the calculation for rate of charge flow. Students will need to show their working for each of these questions, the answers are provided on the PowerPoint presentation so students can check their work against the mark scheme, making corrections where needed.
 
Next, the lesson introduces the formula for calculating the energy transferred to components within a circuit. Students can take notes using the PowerPoint presentation and then using the formula they should work their way through another ‘Quick Check’ task. The mark scheme for this task is also included in the PowerPoint presentation for pupils to self or peer assess their work.
 
The final part of the lesson focuses on energy transfers within a circuit. Firstly, a worked problem is shown to students before they have a go at working their way through another ‘progress check’, using knowledge of what they have learned so far this lesson.
The plenary task requires pupils to write a twitter message about what they have learned in the lesson, this must include #keywords!
 
All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
