individually, in groups on:
 The comprehension of
given information
Evaluation Evaluation chart
 Their ability to follow
procedures
 The use of subordination
and coordination related
to content language
Activity 1 – Topic of lesson
It starts with a brainstorming activity, then the
teacher asks Ss to complete worksheet1. The
teacher introduce the topic by the multimedial
presentation with the title ”Electricity”.
Procedure The activity ends with a discussion about the
content:
 Electricity and electric circuits are all around us.
 Discuss examples of electric circuits and
electricity.
Approx. time 2 hour

Level A2
The Ss learn:
 to define electricity as the physical phenomena
associated with the flow or movement of electric
charge.
 to define electric charge as a fundamental
property of some subatomic particles.
 to explain that a conductor is something which
Learning
freely allows the motion of electric charge and
outcomes
an insulator is the opposite; it greatly resists
the flow of charge.
 to explain how electric current flows in a circuit.
 to define voltage as the electric potential
between two points.
 the SI unit for voltage and current intensity.
 some new words regarding the topic

 Active participation in discussion

Indicators
 Knowledge and use of keywords

Activity 2 – The electric circuit
The Ss are divided into groups for three or four
students and make an electric circuit comprising a
battery, an electric resistance and a bulb (Electric
circuit activity).
Procedure The Ss analyze and summarize the results of your
experiment, they list any questions you still have
about your experiment and they describe what they
have learned about electric circuits from the
worksheets.
Approx. time 2 hour

Level A2
The Ss learn:
 to define resistance as a physical property
which describes how well electric current flows
in a material
 the SI unit for resistance
Learning  to define the electric circuit as a connection of
outcomes two or more components to form a closed loop
 the closed loop is necessary to allow the
electric current to flow from one point of the
voltage source to the other
 learn some new words regarding the topic
 to wire a basic circuit
 application of new knowledge
Indicators  Interaction in group using English
 Sharing of knowledge with others

The Ss listen to a scientific text about Ohm’s Law,
Procedure
then it is asked to complete the worksheets

Approx. time 2 hour

Level A2
The Ss learn:
 Ohm’s Law: Voltage = Resistance ∙ Current
Intensity
 to define electric power as the rate at which
Learning
electrical energy is transferred (Power = Voltage
outcomes
x Current Intensity).
 the SI unit for electric power.
 to take measurements on a circuit.
 summarize informations with a mind map.
 application of new knowledge
