Teacher Action

Hands-on Investigation – Testing Conductivity:

• Divide students into groups with circuit kits.

• Safety instructions about human body as conductor.

• Test each material using simple circuit.

• Use Activity Sheet (VIIC03LP10-RS01).

• Discuss why some materials conduct and some don't.

• Mention best conductors: silver, copper, gold, aluminium.

Student Action

• Work in groups to test materials.

• Observe which allow current (bulb glows).

• Record results in Activity Sheet.

• Identify conductors and insulators.

Teacher Action

Real-World Application Discussion:

• Discuss using PPT (VIIC03LP10-RS02).

• Introduce AC vs DC with simple examples.

• Show video (VIIC03LP10-RS03) of electricity transmission.

• Discuss safety and efficiency.

Student Action

• Observe PPT and video.

• Learn about real-world applications.

• Understand AC vs DC concepts.

• Note safety measures.
