Bridgewater College Teacher Education Program Lesson Plan

The lesson plan aims to teach 11th/12th grade physics students about basic electrical circuits by having them construct sample series and parallel circuits, taking notes on circuit concepts like Ohm's law, and working through practice problems to determine total resistance and current in given circuit arrangements, with a formative assessment and quiz planned for the next class.

The student will investigate and understand how to diagram, construct, and analyze basic electrical circuits and
explain the function of various circuit components. Key concepts include
a) Ohms law;
b) series, parallel, and combined circuits

Measurable Lesson Objective(s):


TSWBAT determine the total resistance and current for a given arrangement of resistors in a circuit.
(H) TSWBAT solve for the current and voltage across each individual resistor in the circuit.
Materials/Technologies/Resources Needed:
PPT on circuits for notes, practice problem half sheet, classwork sheet (notebook file with circuits in it), D
batteries, wires, and mini light bulbs
Assessment (Formative and/or Summative):
Summative n/a
Formative students will turn in classwork
Anticipatory Set:
Christmas light demonstration

unplugging different lights and
questions if they have any initial
showing that some stay on and others
thoughts on the matter.
10 min
turn off.

Access /Review Prior Knowledge:


Circle time
Teacher will:
~Will have a posted warm up asking
students to describe what they know
about circuits, where they are in their
life.

Students will:
~Will write down a few things and
then participate in circle time.

Time:
10 min

Teacher will:

Students will:

~Will give notes in form of lecture


and class discussion on circuits.
~Before the information is introduced
the students will construct a circuit, a
series circuit, and a parallel circuit
using two D batteries, wires, and two
mini light bulbs.
~Within the lecture there will be two
example problems that will be gone
over in detail.

~Will follow along with notes and


solve the two sample questions.

~Will hand out class work sheet and


have students work on that for the
remainder of class. Will circulate the
classroom as they are working.

~Will work on classwork sheet and


turn it in when finished.

Differentiation:

Anticipated
Time:
45 min

~Will construct circuits and


observe the difference in brightness
of the lightbulbs in the given
situations.

25 min

(H) example problems go more in


depth and the classwork asks them to
find the current and voltage in each
element of the circuit not just the
totals
Closure:
Agenda
Teacher will:
~Will remind students that they
have a quiz the next class and we
will expand more of circuits after
the quiz.

Students will:
~Will pack up and get ready to
leave to go to next class
