Physics Unit 1 AOS 3 - How can electricity be used to transfer energy?
This unit is composed of two different modules that can be completed individually (approximately 4 hours each). The modules include:
Physics Unit 1 AOS 3: 3.1 - Concepts used to model electricity
Students will use interactive activities including simulations, videos and apps, to:
Apply concepts of charge, current, potential difference, energy, and power in circuits.
Evaluate analogies for electric current and potential difference.
Investigate and Analyse electric circuits.
Justify the use of ammeters, voltmeters, and multimeters.
Apply the kilowatt-hour as a unit of energy.
Physics Unit 1 AOS 3: 3.2 - Circuit electricity
Students will use interactive activities including simulations, videos and apps, to:
Model resistance in series and parallel.
Calculate equivalent resistance in series and parallel circuits.
Analyse voltage divider circuits.
Model household AC systems as DC circuits.
Compare power transfer in series and parallel circuits.
Explain why household circuits are primarily parallel.
