Section outline

  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    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:

    1. Construct a DIY electricity series circuit and roleplay/model resistors in a circuit 
    2. PHET simulation lab activity 

    Homework:
    EP basic circuits
