Learning Objectives

• Define current, voltage, resistance, and circuit.
• Identify parts of a simple electrical circuit.
• Explain how current changes when voltage or resistance changes in a basic circuit.
• Use correct electricity vocabulary in discussion and written responses.

Materials Needed

• Board or projector
• Whiteboard markers
• Student notebooks
• Printed review questions or teacher-made slide deck
• Simple circuit diagram handout (optional)

Support

• Provide a labeled word bank for students who need language support.
• Use simple circuit diagrams and visuals instead of long text.
• Pair struggling students with supportive partners.
• Allow oral responses before written responses when needed.

Challenge

• Ask advanced students to explain what would happen to current if resistance increases while voltage stays the same.
• Have students write one real-world example of electricity use and identify the circuit parts involved.

Checks for Understanding

• Observe student responses during warm-up and guided review.
• Listen for correct use of vocabulary during partner talk.
• Ask quick oral questions to confirm understanding: 'What happens when a circuit is open?' and 'Which term means electrical push?'

Closure

Review the three key ideas: a circuit must be complete, voltage pushes current, and resistance slows current. Ask students to restate one fact before leaving.
