  1. The Inquiry Based Science Teaching and Learning Framework www.discoversensors.ie

  2. What is the Learning Framework? • The Discover Sensors framework has been developed by a group of Discover Sensor facilitators and teachers working with Irish education consultants and academics. • The DS Framework is designed to be used when planning the teaching of a topic or a theme on the syllabus. • This is referred to as a 'learning activity'.

  3. What it looks like

  4. Current Electricity OP50 / 3C3 Static electricity, atomic structure, energy conversions Phet, Circuits set up, Electrstorm, Wire wool and battery What is Electric Current? What makes it happen?

  5. As per Syllabus: current as a flow of charge; measuring current; measuringpotential difference (voltage) and resistance (for metallic conductors). Establish relationship between voltage, current and resistance. Investigation – Big Circuit, Ropes for Resistance. Ohms Law inv. Data representation /Graphing Questioning Logical Thinking Working with others Communicating ICT – Phet, dataloggers Managing myself

  6. Where are electrons coming from? What makes them move? Can I slow them down? Can I get them to go faster? What do you think will happen if I -------? How could I make bulb brighter, dimmer -------? Why does bulb dim when graphite is put into the circuit? Why no current when stick is in circuit? Do connections to battery make a difference? Can we measure the energy in the circuit What use can I make of this learning? Who else is interested? Could I do a project on this

  7. Put in two bulbs – what will happen? Different batteries. Different wires. Is V always proportional to I?- try a bulb Develop models of electrical resistance Phet Series and parallel circuits Electrostorm – what is happening – link static and current Can you show series and parallel with Phet?

  8. Stimulus materials, websites, etc.: Phet juniorscience.ie IOP cds Virtual Physics lab Crocodile Clips Des Bishop ESB videos

  9. A difficult topic to teach. Big Circuit proven to work.
