国际课程课件系列之物理boardworks 7. Electric Circuits v1.1.pptVIP

What is an electric circuit? What is the source of energy in a circuit? Circuit components Which circuit diagram? Water model of a circuit What are conductors and insulators? How do metals conduct electricity? Why do cables have plastic coatings? What is conventional current? Representing current direction Representing current – activity What’s the difference between series and parallel? Series circuits – experiment Parallel circuits – experiment Glossary (1/2) Glossary (2/2) Teacher notes This multiple choice quiz could be used as a plenary activity to assess students’ understanding of electric circuits. The questions can be skipped through without answering by clicking “next”. Students could be asked to complete the questions in their books and the activity could be concluded by the completion on the IWB. Teacher notes This matching components to symbols activity can be used to test students’ knowledge of circuit symbols. It can be used as a plenary activity or for revision purposes. Teacher notes This statement completing activity could be used as a plenary exercise to work on conductors and insulators. Teacher notes If a set of headlights on a car were wired in series, one of the lights would be dimmer than the other. Teacher notes This multiple-choice activity could be used as a plenary exercise to check students’ understanding of circuit diagrams. Coloured voting cards could be used to make this a whole-class exercise. To extend the activity, students could be asked to explain their answers. Teacher notes This animated water model can be used to help students visualize the movement of electricity in the current and the concept of potential difference. This model of an electric circuit uses the following representations: water = electric charges (i.e. electrons) carrying electrical energy pump = source of electrical energy water wheel = bulb (or other device) that uses electrical energy height = potential energy Photo credit (both images): ?
