Subject Knowledge Enhancement KS5 Physics. De-mystifying circuits: EMF and internal resistance RM298 / B64

Start date
17 Nov 21
Learning Method
Remote Delivered CPD

Summary

Course outline: A level students often find emf and internal resistance tricky concepts especially if they never really mastered circuits at GCSE. This one-hour course is for those new to teaching A level, or those in need of a refresher. It aims to strengthen the subject knowledge needed to teach this key topic. You will explore ways of revising and building student understanding from GCSE and overcoming misconceptions, together with techniques for teaching.

Who is the course leader?

Outcomes

Course outcomes:

You will be:

  • Able to analyse a circuit, using the emf equation to solve increasingly complex set of problems
  • Aware of the most common misconceptions which students have in facing circuit questions
  • Equipped with suggestions to guide students through this topic including some practical contexts
 

This is part of a series of 3 workshops which will  help you gain confidence in your understanding of physics and your ability to teach it engagingly. You will be introduced to lots of ideas and resources to help in your teaching and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Book for all 3 to gain real immersion in the subject or pop into individual workshops for help with a particular topic.
