- Discuss the properties of waves (wavelength, frequency, amplitude, speed).
- **Interactive Activity (5 minutes)**
- Use an online simulation or demonstrate with a slinky or rope to show wave types.
- **Discussion (5 minutes)**
- Have students identify real-life examples of transverse and longitudinal waves.
4. **Section 3: Electricity (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation (5 minutes)**
- Introduce key terms: current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R).
- Explain Ohm’s Law (V = I * R) and describe simple electric circuits.
- **Demonstration (5 minutes)**
- Use a basic circuit kit or online simulation to show circuit components and measure current and voltage.
- **Discussion (5 minutes)**
- Encourage students to share their questions and clarify any doubts regarding electrical concepts.
5. **Conclusion and Assessment (5 minutes)**
- Recap the main points of the lesson.
- Distribute worksheets with exercises covering energy transformations, wave properties, and basic electrical calculations.
- Collect worksheets for assessment.
6. **Homework Assignment (Optional)**
- Assign a research project for students to create a poster or a short presentation on an application of energy, waves, or electricity in modern technology (e.g., renewable energy sources, medical imaging, household appliances).
#### Assessment
- Observations during class discussions and activities to gauge understanding.
- Evaluation of the completed worksheets for comprehension and correct application of concepts.
- The optional homework assignment can provide deeper insight into individual student engagement and learning.
#### Reflection
After the lesson, review the effectiveness of the teaching methods and student participation. Identify areas for improvement and consider adjustments for future lessons to better address student needs.
