PHYSICAL SCIENCES FET PHASE - Face to Face

Outcomes of Workshop

This workshop will enable you to:

• Electrical circuits
• Understand the methodology behind teaching learners how to solve circuit problems involving current, potential difference and resistance for circuits containing arrangements of resistors in series and in parallel
• Understand that a real battery has internal resistance
• Understand that the sum of the potential difference across the external circuit plus the potential difference across the internal resistance is equal to the emf: ε = Vload + Vinternal resistance or ε = I Rext + I r
• Solve circuit problems involving: o the internal resistance of the battery o series-parallel networks of resistors Work, energy and power
• Understand that only the components of the applied force that is parallel to the motion do work on an object
• Understand that forces perpendicular to the object’s displacement do not work on the object
• Understand that forces that are parallel to the object’s displacement do positive work on the object
• Understand that forces that are anti-parallel to the object’s displacement (e.g. friction) do negative work on the object Equilibrium
• Explain what equilibrium is
• Explain the meaning of terms such as forward/reverse reaction; reaction rate; closed/open systems; reactants/products; extent of a reaction
• Distinguish between static and dynamic equilibrium
• Write equilibrium reaction equations correctly
• Identify any misconceptions that your learners may have and address these Prescribed experiments
• Set up all the prescribed experiments for your Grade 12 learners
• Conduct all the experiments, collect all relevant data and reach the expected conclusions
