Question Show how components of electrical circuits are represented by locating and matching the symbol to the definition in a online simulation? Teaching Sequence Phase 1 Assessing prior knowledge of Symbols used to represent electrical components with a KWL Chart. Phase 2 Show students other places where they use symbols such as maths, discuss with the student why they think symbols are used to represent electrical components?(direct answers to the fact it is quicker and can be understood by people who do not speak the same language, symbols are very important in science and engineering) Ask the students to come up with some symbols of their own and draw these on poster paper to compare with conventional symbols. Phase 3 The educators would model on the board an electrical circuit and have the students label the circuit with the correct names and the symbols used for each component. Students need to copy these into their science books. To affirm the students knowledge this site has a quiz on electrical symbols. It will give the student a score out of 10. A fun way to learn. Using the templates supplied the students could also play 'electrifying word loop' when cup out they can be played like dominoes. This game could be set aside for early finishers or students that need to consolidate their memory of symbols and definitions (Primary Connections, 2007). BBC Schools Science Clip Changing Circuits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/scienceclips/ages/10_11/changing_circuits.shtml When the student receives a 10/10 score they have successfully completed todays task. |
