Lesson Plan 6: Electrical Circuit
Chapter 03: Electricity: Circuits and their Components
Teacher Action
Guided Inquiry & Concept Reinforcement:
• Display circuit diagram (VIIC03LP06-RS01).
• Guide inquiry discussion about what makes lamp glow, terminal connections, filament breaks.
• Reinforce: complete circuit, current flow direction, fused lamp concept.
Student Action
• Observe circuit diagram carefully.
• Respond actively to inquiry questions.
• Recall and explain why lamp glows only in complete circuit.
Teacher Action
Guided Practical Exploration – Activity 3.7:
• Divide into groups, take to Science Lab.
• Demonstrate LED connection using PPT (VIIC03LP06-RS02).
• Students fix cells in holder (positive to negative).
• Connect LED with correct polarity.
• Reverse connections and observe.
• Reinforce unidirectional current flow in LEDs.
Student Action
• Work collaboratively in groups.
• Observe when LED glows and when it doesn't.
• Compare incandescent bulb vs LED connection requirements.
Teacher Action
Real-Life Applications Discussion:
• Prompt students to explore applications of bulbs and LEDs.
• Discuss advantages of LEDs over incandescent bulbs.
Student Action
• Share examples of LED and incandescent bulb usage.
• Compare and record distinguishing points.
• Reflect on why LEDs are preferred.
