Connection in Parallel

Description

Hello viewers welcome to my blog, this is my third post and it is based on the topic connection in parallel for class six levels. This power point presentation is aimed at imparting the concepts of mechanism of how parallel circuit works and is created. This time I am certain that this post will keep you entertained and infirmed as I have put a lot more effort compared to the previous post. I have provided links of videos, files, and used simulations making the lesson more interesting and interactive.

Class: VI 

Relevancy and effectiveness: 

The entire material used in the presentation, which comprises of produced videos and simulations are everyday material that students encounter and make use of. Moreover the simulations that I have used are simple and easy to understand for their level. The videos and animations used will play the curiosity triggering roles as children are fond of cartoon images and characters which are simple and colorful. The entire effort is made making learning fun so that the students will remember and retain the information for longer duration, hence proving effective. When will it be used? Throughout the teaching learning session, I will use this material to make the teaching learning fun, enjoyable, interactive and effective. Since I have used simple elements to construct and convey the concept, the follow through of the lesson transitions will be smooth throughout the teaching learning process. 

How has the material being created?

I have designed the slides in such a way that the concept is introduced in ascending order of concepts on which the concepts will gradually get complete only at the end. Some questions will be asked basically to confirm if they have the key concepts and the terminologies like circuit, connections, bulbs, wire and switch. Once the background knowledge is being verified, the later slides will have definitions, pictures of the circuit, supporting simulations, animations and videos to ensure that the concepts is clearly understood. Finally, the last slides will have the activity of creating complete parallel circuit in order to verify whether they have actually fulfilled the lesson objectives or not.

Activity: Parallel Circuit Table

Instruction: 

The students will be divided into 4 groups. Distribute the parallel circuit table to students and invite them to construct two parallel circuits- one with two light bulbs and another with three light bulbs. Remind them that in a parallel circuit, there are multiples pathways for electricity to flow. Again, they should keep the battery source the same. Have them draw the diagrams in their table and rank the brightness.
