Teacher Resources for Instructional Planning


HS, Physical Science Std 10: Explain the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Example: using a moving charge to create a magnetic field and using a moving magnetic field to induce a current in a closed wire loop • Differentiating between induction and conduction • Identifying mechanical, magnetic, and chemical methods used to create an electrical charge Examples: mechanical—rubbing materials together (static charge), magnetic—moving a closed loop of wire across a magnetic field, chemical—using batteries

Lesson Plans: Magnetic Fields and Bermuda Triangles This activity shows how to map a magnetic field, and to find how a bar magnet's field combines with the Earth's magnetic field to form a complex resultant field. Electric and Magnetic Fields To introduce the concepts of magnetic and electric fields to the students via the use of phenomena as magnetism and electric current flows. Magnet Fun What are magnets? How do they act with other magnets and with other objects? Coulomb's Law Observe qualitatively the relationship between electrical charge and force. Electric and Magnetic Fields To introduce the concepts of MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FIELDS to the students via the use of phenomenas as magnetism and electric current flows. Electrochemistry One form of energy may be transformed into another. How can electricity be changed into chemical energy? How can chemical energy be transformed into electricity? Electromagnets The students will make an electromagnet and determine the strength of the electromagnet. Electrostatics Have the students rub the plastics rod with the cloth and bring it near the scraps of paper and observe what happens. (The bits of paper should attract to the tube where it was rubbed.) Introduce the term "neutral" and "charged". We will say that something is neutral if it does not attract tiny bits of paper. We will call something charged if it attracts tiny bits of paper. What Is Electricity To develop an understanding of the fundamentals of static electricity, namely that of materials, conditions, and charge. To learn how to detect a charge by the use of electroscopes. To learn how to determine the force between charges. Electroscope Activity pick experiment number 1 Build it Yourself Build an electric motor
