3. CONNECT	Connect electrical conduction to everyday materials such as copper wires, rubber coverings and semiconductor devices. Relate resistance to the length and thickness of a wire and discuss why wires of different materials behave differently.	Identify conductors and insulators in everyday life and predict which wire would offer greater resistance in a given situation.
4. REVISE	Revisit definitions, symbols, SI units and formulae. Emphasise the difference between charge and current, electron flow and conventional current, and potential difference and resistance. Use the relevant SpeedUpScience blog content for revision.	Recall definitions, match quantities with units and symbols, and summarise important formulae in their notebooks.
5. PRACTISE	Discuss textbook questions and answers. Solve simple numerical problems involving electric charge, current, potential difference and resistance. Practise questions on Ohm’s law and factors affecting resistance.	Show formula, substitution, calculation and final answer with the correct SI unit. Correct errors during discussion.
6. CONSTRUCT	Guide students to create a concept map connecting electric charge, free electrons, electric current, potential difference, resistance and Ohm’s law. Ask them to organise the factors affecting resistance in a comparison table.	Prepare a concise concept map, a formula sheet and a table showing how different factors affect resistance.
7. APPLY	Present thinking-based questions involving the selection of suitable wire materials, comparison of wires of different lengths and thicknesses, and calculations using I = Q/t and V = IR. Reinforce scientific answer-writing through SpeedUpScience blog resources.	Apply formulae independently, justify predictions and write complete answers using relevant scientific principles.

4. Important Formulae and Concepts

Electric charge: q = ±ne

n = number of elementary charges; e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Electric current: I = Q/t

Ohm’s law: V = IR

Resistance: R = V/I

SI units: Charge – coulomb (C); current – ampere (A); potential difference – volt (V); resistance – ohm (Ω).

5. Factors Affecting Resistance

• Material: Different materials offer different resistance.
• Length: For a wire of the same material and cross-sectional area, greater length means greater resistance.
• Area of cross-section: For the same material and length, a thicker wire has lower resistance than a thinner wire.
• Temperature: For ordinary metallic conductors, resistance generally increases as temperature increases.
