• Content:

  1. Define Ohm’s Law;

  2. Understand relationship among Voltage (V), Current (I), Resistance (R);

  3. Plot and analyze I-V graphs;

  4. Solve calculation problems using V=IRV = IRV=IR.

• Communication:

  1. Use key scientific vocabulary (voltage, current, resistance, proportionality, conductor, linear, ohm) correctly in discussion and writing.

  2. Use sentence starters and peer explanation to support English usage.

• Cognition:

  1. Formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments, analyze data, draw conclusions.

  2. Transfer understanding from lab to simulation and real-world contexts.

• Culture:

  1. Relate safety and energy efficiency of electrical circuits to students’ own homes and community.
     
     

• Resistors (fixed, variable, LDR)

• Voltmeter, Ammeter, Rheostat, Switch

• Connecting wires, Power supply

• Graph paper, Calculator

• Simulation tool: Circuit Construction Kit: DC (PhET)

• Videos (Don’t Memorise, FuseSchool, YouTube Physics channels)

Purpose: Activate background knowledge & reduce language anxiety.

• 🎥 Pre-Class Video (3–4 min): Share via  Padlet wall

• 📝 Task for Students:

  • Take the Edcafe Quiz

  • Write down 3 keywords they understood (in English).

  • Write 1 question they still have (in Tamil/English).

• 📩 Submission: Students post responses to the padlet wall. 

Step 1: Recall Yesterday’s Pre-Lesson Quiz (2 min)

• “Yesterday, you did the EdCafe quiz. What were some new words or ideas you saw?”

• “Which question was most difficult for you? Why?”

👉 Purpose: Activates memory + acknowledges effort.

Step 2: Quick Discussion (3 min)

• The teacher shows 1–2 sample questions from the pre-lesson quiz.

• Ask:

  • “What did most of you answer here?”

  • “Why do you think this is correct / not correct?”

• Collect ideas on the board → highlight keywords (voltage, current, resistance).

👉 Purpose: Shared brainstorming and gentle correction.

Step 3: Socratic Brainstorming (3–4 min)

(Before showing the video, guide them with open-ended questions):

• “When we increase the number of cells in a circuit, what might happen to the current?”

• “Why do some bulbs glow brighter than others?”

• “What could stop current from flowing easily?”

• “What might be the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?”

👉 Purpose: Students predict and connect their quiz knowledge to real-world circuits.

Step 4: Transition to Video (1 min)

• “Great ideas! Let’s check if scientists explain it the same way.”

• Play short intro video (Ohm’s Law explanation).

• Follow immediately with EdCafe quiz activity (to check predictions).

📝 Sentence Starters for Students

• “I remember from yesterday that …”

• “I think the answer is … because …”

• “In the quiz, I saw the word … which means …”

Purpose: Hands-on investigation of the current–voltage relationship.

• 🔧 Lab Task (Groups of 4):

  • Vary the voltage and measure the current using a voltmeter/ammeter.

  • Record data in a table.

• 📊 Groups plot I–V points on graph paper/whiteboard.

• Answer post practical Quiz

• 🗣 Group Presentations: Share graphs & findings.

• 👩‍🏫 Teacher Formalises: V=IRV = IRV=IR.

• 📖 Word Bank (display on site):

  📝 Sentence Starters:

  • “Our graph shows that current … when voltage …”

  • “Ohm’s Law means that …”

• 🎥 Reinforcement Video (2–3 min): Embed short animation.

1. 🌐 PhET Simulation (Embed): Students adjust V & R → record outcomes.

2. Students follow the task sheet given and do PhET simulations and find the V vs I relationship.
