We will not spend long going through circuits before the test later in the term
8	19.2	What is a battery ? Electrodes - cathode, anode; electrolyte. Desirable properties of batteries.	How batteries work. In pairs, prepare a short document/ppt to cover the following  What is a battery? (AKA Electrochemical cell) What do the following parts of a battery do: cathode, anode, electrolyte ?  How do AA batteries work? What are the types?  How do rechargeable batteries work? How do mobile phone batteries work? How do rechargeable power banks work? What are the problems with large, rechargeable  batteries eg in electric vehicles? This should be completed by the end of the lesson, and then shared with me online (send as a file or onedrive or google link)	No homework
9	26.2		Microbits and a standard battery in a circuit Battery type basics video Using microbits help page This video talks you through the main parts: Setting up the Microbits.  This was filmed a year or so ago, and there may have been updates to the webpage and app interface since then. Video for using the microbits and exporting data Excel and graphs video
11	11.3	Orange battery investigation	Rubric sheet for the orange as a battery investigation. Orange Investigation help sheet - extra information sheet (the left hand QR code from the paper copy of the instruction sheet) Using microbits help page Assessment criteria including student friendly version Writing frame pdf Writing frame to download as doc - save a copy and edit your version Writing frame help sheet - this has explanations of each part of the writing frame sheet	twenty minutes on  the experiment report plan
12	18.3	Orange battery investigation
13	25.3	Orange battery investigation
14	1.4.	Orange battery investigation		Complete the investigation and send it to me by 20.00 on Monday 8 April
15	8.4	Magnetism	I was sick so there was a substitute Introduction video   Target Science Physics books   and they can work through pages 178 -182, reading and answering the questions.   They can watch this video but start 46 minutes in (and then watch until 100 minutes). It details the  start of electromagnetism talking about Faraday's experimen, and some electromagnetic phenomena.
16	15.4	Electromagnetism	Oersted's experiment video How electromagnets work video Simple dc motor video Volts or amps - what kills?
17	22.4		Study for the test Sheet we used in the lesson  Lesson notes	study for the test. Here are some Kahoots we did in the lessons which you can use to practice:   Circuits basics 060471 Simple circuits 0559113 Series circuit practice 06914167 Parallel circuit calculations 196868
