EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING our context of 'Chaos' through technology and innovation by recognising the role that electricity has played in the modern world.
- We are EXPLORING our context of 'Chaos' through technology and innovation by experimenting with different circuits and observing how components work in a electrical circuit

This week we will be looking at resistors, familiarising with more electrical components and their symbols and completing the checkpoints for Week 4 , for your Science Fair project.
Plan for the week is as follows:
Monday: Resistors in a circuit (notes and demo model) , Science Fair group discussion on Checkpoint for week 4.
Wednesday: MOTAT trip
Thursday: PHET circuit simulations and drawing circuit diagrams.
Success Criteria: I can/have...
- Understand the purpose of resistors in a circuit and draw the symbol for this
- Be able to construct 4-5 different circuits and draw the circuit diagrams ( with the correct symbols)
Activities:
- Construct a DIY electricity series circuit and roleplay/model resistors in a circuit
- PHET simulation lab activity
Homework:
EP basic circuits
