Learning Intentions To explore what you know about electricity and find out something new about electricity To understand how we generate some of our electricity To understand the dangers of electricity
Lesson Starter In the back of your class jotter: • Write down all the times you have used electricity since waking up this morning.
What We Know Already • In your group: • Discuss what you already know and understand about electricity. For example, what facts, words and meanings do you know about electricity? • Write a summary of what you and your group have talked about in your jotter. You might use a mind map, bullet points or a table. • Share your summary with the rest of the class when everyone is ready.
In your jotter: • Write the heading “What We Know Already about Electricity” • Write three key points about electricity https: //www. twigonglow. com/film/what-iselectricity-1540/
What is Electricity? • Electricity is a type of energy and we rely on it everyday. • Generating electricity is expensive and we are trying to find cheaper and renewable ways of generating electricity. • http: //www. educationscotland. gov. uk/weatherand climatechange/energy/renewable/hydroelectric. asp
Renewable Energy • Scotland currently generates 41. 6% of our electricity from renewable sources. • The Scottish Government wants to make this 100% by 2020! • In Iceland, 87% of their electricity comes from hydroelectricity! • 100% of Iceland's space heating and water heating is obtained from geothermal sources!
Electrical Safety • Electrical faults are one of the most common causes of fires in the home. • You should check your smoke alarms once every week and change the batteries once every year. • https: //www. twigonglow. com/film/electricalsafety-1542/

Conductors and insulators Learning intention • To understand the difference between conductors and insulators. • To be able to build circuits.
Conductors and insulators • Today, we will test a number of materials to see if they are conductors or insulators • What you will need: – Circuit board, 2 batteries, 1 bulb, 3 wires – 1 bag of insulators and conductors • Build a circuit that lights the bulb.
Conductors and insulators - + Test Material • Test each material • The bulb will light up if a current flows • Note the conductors and insulators in a table
Results Material Conductor Insulator Copper strip Steel strip Aluminium strip Rubber tubing Plastic strip Glass slide Graphite pencil Remember: It’s a conductor if the bulb lights, if not it’s an insulator!
Results Material Conductor Insulator Copper strip yes no Steel strip yes no Aluminium strip yes no Rubber tubing no yes Plastic strip no yes Glass slide no yes Graphite pencil yes no
Conclusion A conductor allows electricity to pass through it. Examples: copper, iron, aluminium. An insulator does not allow electricity to pass through it. Example: rubber, glass, perspex.
Summary • A material which allows electricity to pass through it is a conductor • A material which does not allow electricity to pass through it is an insulator • All metals are conductors such as the copper wire inside an electric cable • Most non-metals are insulators such as the plastic cover on an electrical cable • Insulators are important because they prevent us from getting electrical shocks

Lesson Starter • Draw three circuit symbols. • Draw a circuit diagram with two batteries, a bulb and a switch, where the switch turns the bulb on and off.
Learning Intentions To understand the definition of current. To understand the defintion of voltage To be able to draw and identify series circuits.
Current • Current is the flow of electrons (negative charges) or electricity round a circuit. • It is measured using an ammeter. • Current has the symbol I • It is measured in units called amperes or A
Voltage • Voltage is the energy given to each electron in a circuit. • We measure voltage using a voltmeter. • Voltage has the symbol V and it has units measured in volts or V.
Types of circuits • A circuit is an electrical path around which charge or electricity can flow (current). • There are two types of circuits: – Series – Parallel
Series Circuit • In a series circuit there is only one electrical path and all the components are connected in a chain or in a row. • A series circuit looks like this:
Series Circuit Summary • Two bulbs connected in series: – If you disconnect one bulb the other bulb goes out. • • • As you add more batteries the bulbs get brighter. As you add more bulbs, the bulbs get dimmer. When one bulb is disconnected, the other bulbs go off. There is no other route for the electricity. The charges (current) flows through every component.
Series Circuit • Build a series circuit with one battery and one bulb and draw in your jotter. • Add more batteries • Write down what happens. • Begin with one battery and one bulb again. • Add more bulbs • Write down what happens • Disconnect one of the bulbs. • Write down what happens.
