- Problems or the negative aspects of electricity
- Identify the safety devices at home
- State the precautions while using eletricity
Notes for teachers
These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes. ===Activity No # ===heating effect
- Estimated Time
30minutes
- Materials/ Resources needed
electric source, thin copper wire, cellcap, key stop watch, thermometer, wires.
- Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
1. Do not use A.C. current 2. make a copper spring carefully 3. use only the thin copper wire.
- Multimedia resources
- Website interactives/ links/ simulations
- Process (How to do the activity)
take 20cm of thin copper wire, winding it on a pen refill, and carefully take out to make it like a spring
connect the copper spring to 3 volt electric source, record the temperatures of after 5 minutes and 10 minutes
connect the copper spring to 6 volt electric source, record the temperatures of after 5 minutes and 10 minutes
connect the copper spring to 9 volt electric source, record the temperatures of after 5 minutes and 10 minutes
- Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)
1. what are the factors depends upon the produced heat energy 2. what happens when electric current supplied through a thick conductor For small and large amount of electricity ? 3. list the consequences of heating effect of electric current
- Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)
