  2. Communicating skill by answering the questions.

 

C              Demonstrate Scientific Attitudes and Noble Values

a.   actively participate and cooperative in carrying out the activities as a team

  b.   Have critical thinking and being confident in giving ideas.

 

 

             

Scientific Concepts:             

 

A flow of electric charge (electrons) through a conductor produces an electric current.

Electric current is defined as the rate of charge flow in circuit.

Electric current = charge; I =  Q

                              Time           t

 

 

Materials, equipments and resource materials:

Bulb, battery, wire

 

 

Consideration of Safety Precautions:

 

None.

 

Prior Knowledge:

 

Students have already learned about the matter and have already known about electricity with the daily life

Introduction/Eliciting Ideas

(5 minutes)

 

 

 

 

 

Define electricity as the physical phenomena associated with the flow or movement of electric charge

 

 

Elicit students’ ideas about the phenomena happening in the video shown.

 

Teacher explain the learning outcomes of lesson

 

 

Students respond to teacher’s questions

 

 

 

 

Strategy/Technique: Whole class Q&A

Structuring/ Restructuring of Ideas

(15 minutes)

State the relationship between electron flow and electric current

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Define electric current as the rate of charge flow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electric current = charge ; 

                 I =  Q      time                         t

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ask a central guiding question:

What is electric charge?

 

Shows the demonstration:

  1. Rub the comb on someone’s hair then used to attract neutral pieces of tissue
  2. Rub the balloon on someone’s hair and watch the hair stand up in the presence of the excess charge

Teacher ask student regarding this demonstration.

 

Ask a two central guiding questions:

 

What are the relationship between electron flow and electric current?

 

What is the electric current?

 

 

Show the simple circuit and ask the student why the bulb is lighter up?

 

 

Show the simple circuit simulation to show the flow of electron and current

Used analogy:

Water flowing through a pipe to show the relationship between current, charge and time.

Guide students to construct the equation I=Q/t

 

 

Students respond to teacher’s questions

 

 

 

 

 

Students observe and make their inference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students make relationship between electron flow and electric current

 

 

 

Students observe and  respond to teacher’s questions
