Activities
[Author - Arshea Bimal]
1. Take around 75 cm long piece of insulated (plastic) flexible wire and an iron nail, say about 6–10 cm long. Wind the wire tightly around the nail in the form of a coil. Connect the free ends of the wire to the terminals of a cell through a switch

Lesson Plan version 1.1 activities
1. You will need a cell, an electric bulb, a metal key, two iron nails, a thick metal wire (with its plastic insulation scraped off) and few pieces of connecting wires. Fix two nails nearly one metre apart on a wooden board so that these can be used as a hook. Fix the wire between the nails after inserting it through the loop of the key. Connect one end of this wire to a bulb and a cell. Connect the other terminal of the cell to the key with a wire. Ask the kids to move the loop along the straight wire without touching it. Glowing of the bulb would indicate that the loop of the key has touched the wire.
2. Construct a basic circuit with a bulb, a cell and a switch. Draw the circuit diagram in notebook, for two cases: switch on and switch off.
In the same circuit setup, construct a battery, with two cells (terminals properly aligned). Redraw the circuit diagram with the battery.
3. Ask the students to find regular appliances and notice the mark of ISI and introduce the need of such certification marks. Talk about how there are fake ISI marks too, and if possible, show an example, and help in discerning the difference.
