Assessment 1. Can you identify three common household items that use the heating effect of
Questions with electric current?
critical thinking 2. How does the heating effect make these items useful in our daily lives?
(use chatGPT to
3. Why do some materials get hot when electricity passes through them while others
prepare questions)
do not?
4. What characteristics of materials make them good conductors of electricity and
prone to heating?
5. Imagine you are designing a device that uses the heating effect of electric current.
What safety measures would you incorporate to ensure that the device doesn't
become too hot and pose a risk?
6. (Research based) Investigate different materials (e.g., metal, plastic, paper) to see
how they respond to electric current in terms of heating.
7. Can you relate the amount of heating to the resistance of these materials?
8. Why is it important to have control over the heating effect in devices like toasters or
hairdryers? How can different levels of heating be achieved and adjusted in these
devices?
9. When purchasing an electric heater for a small room, what factors would you
consider beyond its heating ability? How might the design, safety features, and
energy consumption play a role in your decision?
10. Create a safety poster for using electric heaters at home or in school. Highlight
important precautions to take to prevent accidents and overheating.
11. Compare heating through electric current with heating through sunlight (radiation)
and heating through a stove (conduction). What are the similarities and differences
 between these methods

Assessment 1. Identify at least three objects or devices in your surroundings that utilize the
Questions with magnetic effect of electric current.
critical thinking 2. How is the magnetic effect of electric current related to electromagnets? Can you
(use chatGPT to
explain how an electromagnet differs from a permanent magnet and where it might
prepare questions)
be used?
3. If you were tasked with creating the strongest electromagnet possible, what factors
would you need to consider regarding the type of wire, number of loops, and
current flow? How might these factors affect the strength of the magnetic field?
4. Investigate the interaction between the poles of magnets and the direction of
electric current in a wire. Can you predict how the direction of the current would
affect the behavior of the magnetic field around the wire?
5. Using iron filings or a compass, create visual representations of magnetic fields
around different arrangements of wires with electric current. What patterns
emerge, and how can you interpret them?
6. Research how the magnetic effect of electric current is used in transportation
systems, such as trains. How does the interaction between magnets and electric
current contribute to the operation of these systems?
7. Compare the magnetic effect of electric current with the electric effect of magnets
(electromagnetic induction). How are these phenomena connected, and how do
they differ in terms of cause and effect?
8. Design an experiment to demonstrate how the strength of an electromagnet
changes when the number of loops in the wire is altered. What variables would you
need to control to ensure accurate results?
9. Brainstorm and sketch a new invention that utilizes the magnetic effect of electric
current in a creative way. Explain how your invention works and the benefits it
could provide.
10. Imagine you're buying a magnetic toy that involves electric current. What safety
considerations would you keep in mind, and what questions might you ask about its
operation and potential hazards?
