Assured Lesson

Electronics

Ms Makeda Taylor

Form 3

Lesson Length – 2 hours

16 Students

No. of Males 13/Females3

Age Range – 14 - 16

Ethnicity: African Descend

Current Knowledge: Students have some knowledge of Electronics                

Learning Styles: Visual, Auditory

Objectives:

Show how the basic circuit system works

Intermediate multi-age students will be able to verbally explain in their own words to the teacher on how a circuit works

The class will split into groups of four

Methods, Media and Materials

Each group will do a presentation on four power main suppliers on a circuit( resistance, current, voltage and power.

The media:  PowerPoint Slide and circuit board

The materials: textbook - the book title, Projector, laptop and circuit

Utilize Media, Materials, and Methods

This lesson will take place in four different groups. The predominant location is the classroom. The classroom is already set up to optimize student participation with the lesson. Tables are arranged for ease of small group interaction while allowing large group work. A TV monitor/projector connected to a laptop and is attached to the wall where all students can easily view it. Lighting and noise control are all adequate for the lesson.

The Electronics lab is the other location in which the lesson will take place. There is room next to each computer for students to write while completing their assignments for anything that they have learned. Noise and is a bit more limited in this location as compared to the classroom.

Required Learners Participation

Questions:
"What is Electricity?”
"What is it used for?"

Activities to Do:
1. In small groups, students will write a definition of the word "electricity" on their note books and share it with the class. This will be done using a brainstorm format to help assess understanding prior to the presentation.

2. Each small group is to be given the task of creating a presentation that has to do ith a particular subject. Group one will give their presentation on Resistance. Group two will give a presentation on Current. Group 3 will give a presentation on voltage. Group four will give a presentation on power. Next each group is to look at the others presentation and see what can be learnt from it. Finally, begin a class discussion based on the outcome of a circuit board.

Evaluate and Revise

Teacher evaluation of the lesson will be based on observation of student participation during the unit. It will also take into account the accuracy of student presented with their presentation. Finally, ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of the lesson as a whole will be based on inclusion of Electronics.
