Technology : Electrical circuits

 Hello everyone, 

In technology, we have been revising electrical circuits. Students have covered this topic in Spanish last year, so we are reviewing the material in English. 

I prepared this presentation, with questions on the video and a worksheet to complete, check out the class material here. 











1. Watch the video and answer the questions: 

How does the video define an electric circuit? 

What is the symbol for a battery? 

What is the symbol for a light bulb?

What is the symbol for a switch? 

What is the definition of current? 

What is another name for potential difference? 

What do we measure resistance in? 

Which way do electrons flow around a circuit? 

2. Fill the gaps in the text 

generators      energy            switching devices       conductors    components

An electric circuit consists of various _________________: generators, conductors, switching devices and loads. 

___________________ provide electric current and _______________ carry it through the circuit. 

______________________ control the flow of electricity, while loads transform it into other types of __________________, such as light, heat, or motion. 

Complete the diagram with the missing symbols and words

Physical Education : The Eatwell Plate

Image
 Hello everyone,  Students in Phyiscal Education have been studying diet and healthy eating, so I thought I would introduce them to the Eatwell Plate. This plate is a visual aid to help us understand how much from each food group we should have in our diet.  We used an interactive resource from Food Standards Scotland   to complete our own Eatwell Plate buy adding each item of food to the relevant section. Students then completed their own Eatwell Plate on the worksheet below:  They drew images of the food items we saw during the interactive activity and wrote down the names of fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates, protein, fats and dairy products.  In the next class we completed a quiz about the Eatwell plate to test their understanding, how many answers do you know?  Check out the answers here !

Technology : Series and parallel circuits

Image
 Hello everyone,  In this Technology class we discussed the differences between parallel and series circuits and how to use Ohms law to answer questions about circuits.  This video is a great resource to give students an overview of the theme:  Check out the worksheet here: In a parallel circuit , the current flows along more than one path to each of the components.  In a series circuit , the current flows along one path through all the components.  Ohms law : As the voltage across a resistor is increased, what happens to the resistance of the resistor  It decreases  It remains constant  It increases  2. What is the current in this circuit?  6A 2A 0.5 A 3. What is the resistance of the resistor in this circuit?  20 Ω 1.8Ω 0.05Ω 4. If the resistance in the circuit is halved, what will the current be?  0.3A 0.6A 0.15A 5. The diagram shows part of a circuit. What is the resistance of the resistor shown?  9Ω 4Ω 0.25Ω 6. T...

Biology : climate and world biomes

Image
 Hello everyone,  After our class on ecosystems, in 1ESO we are now studying how they work on a global scale, and the relationship between our climate and the world's biomes,  Check out the presentation, video and worksheet here!  Worksheet  Watch the video and answer the questions  What is the difference between weather and climate? What is the climate in the UK?  What is the climate in the Sahara?  Which different interactions create a climate system?  How does the sun affect our climate? What does the atmosphere do?  Why is the greenhouse effect so important?  Complete the biome table  Climate type  Climate characteristics  Plants  Animals  Tundra  Cold desert  Grassland  Mediterranean forest  Taiga  Deciduous forest  Hot desert  Savana  Rainforest  Colour in the biome map - choose a colour for each number, e.g. 1 = blue, 2 = green What world biome do you live ...
