Lesson Plan 9: Electrical Conductors and Insulators
Chapter 03: Electricity: Circuits and their Components
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.
