there is a power failure, and we cannot use kettle to boil water
for coffee or whatever, stoves for cooking and light.

An electrical circuit made up of the components where we can
include wire, battery/cell, ammeter, voltmeter, resistor, light
bulb, and closed/opened switch.

difference across the conductor is directly proportional to the
current in the conductor at a constant temperature:

The ohmic conductor are the conductors that obeys ohms law
the magnitude of current remains unchanged when the current
of the voltage is reversed. The current is proportional to the
voltage. The temperature only affects the current and the
resistance.

APPLICATION (ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS AND MEMORANDUM):
(Please attach any form of assessment/worksheet you intend to use together with the
memorandum)

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY:
(Please attach the instructions/activity)
1. Name an instrument used to measure the current (1)
2. Name FOUR components needed to build up an electrical circuit (4)
3. What is the difference between the current and potential difference? (4)
4. What happens to the current if the potential difference increases? (2)
5. What is the difference between the ammeter and voltmeter? (4)
6. State the Principle of Ohm’s Law? (2)
REFLECTION:
Did you achieve what you had prepared to deliver during the lesson?
 Yes, it was all clear and sweet as a nut. Learners were able to understand the first
introduction of the electrical circuit and the basic concepts of Ohm’s law.

What challenges did you encounter during the lesson?

 They failed to identify some other components that make up an electrical circuit
 We tried to solve more problems questions. Work in groups and point to those who
understood the procedure and all steps clearly to reflect to the class.

How did you respond to the above-mentioned challenges?

 The teacher should always be calm and understand the problem. I told them not to
panic this is just the mind game and I find alternative ways to explain the concept.

What is it that you think you could do differently to improve your lesson development
and delivery?
 Let learners to group themselves and choose one in the group to reflect to other
learners and even before the whole class to improve the quality education by letting
them to be subject rather than being object.
