Abstract

Students are expected to understand the basic flow of electricity, the nature of conductivity, and the terms associated with this phenomenon Materials Needed: White board, Notebook paper, Laptop Learning Objectives: Students will be able to show their mastery of basic circuitry by thinking map outlining the similarities and differences between water and electricity. Structure / Activity: This activity involves a lesson on basic circuitry, including the three primary elements of a circuit: a power source, a wire or conductor, and a switch. The important terms for this project are current, flow, and conductivity Students will then design their own thinking maps outlining the similarities and difference between water and electricity, followed by each table teaching a portion of the lesson. Assessment: The formative assessment requires students to design their own thinking maps and define major parts of a circuit.
