This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Physics GCSE, particularly the 'Electricity’ SoW.
For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience
The lesson begins with an introduction to the term ‘Ohmic conductor’, students are also shown a current-potential difference graph for a wire to demonstrate that in an Ohmic conductor the current is directly proportional to the potential difference.
 
Students will then conduct an investigation into whether the length of a wire will effect the resistance within the wire, students will complete the investigation using the method and once finished should draw a graph of their results and write a conclusion to summarise their findings. This work can be checked against answers provided within the PowerPoint presentation.
 
Next, students are shown a current-potential difference graph for a filament lamp and a diode. Students will be given a graph along with a set of questions to answer about these two graphs, once this task is complete students can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.
 
Students are then shown a diagram of a thermistor and light-dependent resistor and provided with an explanation of what happens to the resistance of these two components when the temperature and light are increased, respectively.
 
The last task is a past-paper exam question, those higher-ability students should try and complete these questions without looking at their notes. Once complete, the work can be either self or peer assessed using the mark scheme provided.
 
The plenary task requires pupils to complete one of the sentence starters to summarise what they have learned this lesson.
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 :)
