Documentation and Materials
Nico
• Get documents ready before presentation
– The IEEE has a number of well prepared sets
• Update for South African use in consultation with your
education department
– Draw up documents for scratch
– Requirements:
• Must enable teacher to present lesson
• Must consider the educational environment
– Affordable
– Level of knowledge of learners
– Technical knowledge of teachers
Documents
• Introduction
• Curriculum framework and
assessment standards
• Background information for teachers
• Lesson plan guidelines
• Materials required
• Possible extra activities
• Student handout

Alignment to National
Curriculum Statements
• Note: All lesson Plans in this series are aligned to the
Further Education and Training (FET) National Curriculum
Statements (NCS) for Electrical Technology.
• National Curriculum Statement builds its Learning
Outcomes for Grades 10 – 12 on the Critical and
Developmental Outcomes that were inspired by the
Constitution and developed through a democratic process.

Practical applications
of Ohm’s Law
• Measure resistance of kettle element and
calculate power rating
– Does it work for a light bulb?
•
•
•
•
Calculate volt-drop in a conductor
-

Thank you
Critical Outcomes

•
•
•
•
•
•
As a result of the activities, all learners should develop and
demonstrate the ability to;
identify and solve problems and make decisions using critical and
creative thinking;
work effectively with others as members of a team, group,
organisation and community;
organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and
effectively;
collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information;
communicate effectively using visual, symbolic and/or language skills
in various modes;
use science and technology effectively and critically showing
responsibility towards the environment and the health of others; and
demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related
systems by recognising that problem solving contexts do not exist in
isolation.
The Developmental Outcomes
require learners to be able to:
•
•
•
•
reflect on and explore a variety of strategies to
learn more effectively;
participate as responsible citizens in the life of
local, national and global communities;
be culturally and aesthetically sensitive across a
range of social contexts;
explore education and career opportunities; and
develop entrepreneurial opportunities.
Learning Outcomes
• LO1: Technology, Society and the Environment -
The
learner is able to demonstrate an awareness and understanding
of the interrelationship between Technology, society and the
environment.
• LO2:
Technological Process - The learner is able to
understand and apply the Technological process.
• LO3: Knowledge and Understanding - The learner is able to
demonstrate an understanding of the concepts and principles
related to Electrical Technology.
• LO4: Application of Knowledge - The learner is able to apply
principles and practices related to Electrical Technology.
Link with LOs and ASs of
Electrical Technology Grade 10
As a result of the Get connected with Ohm’s Law activity, all
learners should develop and demonstrate the ability to;
present assignments by means of a variety of
communication media. (10.2.5)
•describe the use and care of tools and measuring
instruments (10.3.2)
•describe the principles of electricity (10.3.4)
•identify and describe the characteristics of electronic
components (10.3.6
