Slide 1: Introduction
Electricity is all around us, but have you ever wondered how it works? In this lesson, we will dive into the world of electric circuits and explore the concept of charge.

Slide 4 - Diapositive

Capture students' attention by highlighting the relevance and curiosity around electricity.
Slide 2: What is Charge?
Charge is a fundamental property of matter. It refers to the imbalance of positive and negative particles, called protons (+) and electrons (-).

Slide 5 - Diapositive

Explain the basic concept of charge and its relation to particles in matter.
Slide 3: Charge in an Electric Circuit
In an electric circuit, charge flows through a closed path. It moves from areas of high potential energy to areas of low potential energy.

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Describe the movement of charge in an electric circuit and its connection to potential energy.
Slide 4: Voltage
Voltage is the measure of electric potential energy per unit charge. It provides the force that drives charge through a circuit.

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Introduce the concept of voltage and its role in driving charge.
Slide 5: Current
Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which charge moves.

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Explain the concept of current and its measurement in amperes.
Slide 6: Connecting Charge, Voltage, and Current
Charge flows due to the presence of voltage, and the amount of charge that flows determines the current in a circuit.

Slide 9 - Diapositive

Emphasize the relationship between charge, voltage, and current in an electric circuit.
Slide 7: Circuit Components
Electric circuits consist of various components, such as batteries, wires, and resistors. These components work together to allow the flow of charge.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Introduce the basic components of an electric circuit and their roles.
Slide 8: Battery
A battery is a device that provides a source of voltage in a circuit. It creates a potential difference, which drives the flow of charge.

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Explain the function of a battery and its role in providing voltage.
Slide 9: Wires
Wires act as pathways for the flow of charge in a circuit. They have low resistance, allowing charge to move easily.

Slide 12 - Diapositive

Discuss the purpose of wires in an electric circuit and their low resistance.
Slide 10: Switches
Switches control the flow of charge in a circuit. When closed, they allow charge to pass through; when open, they interrupt the flow.

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Describe the function of switches and their role in controlling the flow of charge.
Slide 11: Light Bulbs
Light bulbs are devices that convert electrical energy into light. They have a filament that emits light when it becomes hot due to the flow of charge.

Slide 14 - Diapositive

Explain how light bulbs convert electrical energy into light and the role of the filament.
Slide 12: Conductors vs Insulators
Materials can be categorized as conductors or insulators based on their ability to allow or inhibit the flow of charge, respectively.

Slide 15 - Diapositive

Discuss the difference between conductors and insulators and provide examples.
Slide 13: Circuit Symbols
Circuit symbols are used to represent different components in circuit diagrams. These symbols help in understanding and designing circuits.

Slide 16 - Diapositive

Introduce common circuit symbols and their importance in circuit diagrams.
Slide 14: Circuit Diagrams
Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent circuit components and their connections. They provide a visual representation of how a circuit is constructed.

Slide 17 - Diapositive

Explain the purpose and benefits of using circuit diagrams in understanding and designing circuits.
Slide 15: Series Circuit
In a series circuit, components are connected one after another along a single path. The same current flows through each component.

Slide 18 - Diapositive

Describe the characteristics and behavior of series circuits.
Slide 16: Parallel Circuit
In a parallel circuit, components are connected side by side, creating multiple paths for current to flow. The voltage across each component is the same.

Slide 19 - Diapositive

Explain the characteristics and behavior of parallel circuits.
Slide 17: Practice Activity
Let's apply what we've learned! Work in pairs to sketch a simple series circuit and identify the flow of charge, voltage, and current.

Slide 20 - Diapositive

Engage students in a hands-on activity where they apply their understanding of charge, voltage, and current in a series circuit.
Slide 18: Real-Life Examples
Electric circuits are present in various everyday devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and light switches. Can you think of more examples?

Slide 21 - Diapositive

Encourage students to think about real-life applications of electric circuits and share their ideas.
Slide 19: Recap
In this lesson, we explored the notion of charge in an electric circuit and connected it to voltage and current. Remember, charge flows due to voltage, and the amount of charge that flows determines the current.

Slide 22 - Diapositive

Summarize the key concepts covered in the lesson and highlight the main takeaways.
Slide 20: Assessment
To assess your understanding, complete the quiz provided. Good luck!

Slide 23 - Diapositive

Conclude the lesson with an assessment activity, such as a quiz, to evaluate students' comprehension.
Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 24 - Question ouverte

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 25 - Question ouverte

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 26 - Question ouverte

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
