Topic of Lesson: Introduction to the Basic laws of Electromagnetism

Teaching Strategy: Explanation, Question and answer, Cooperative Learning,

Demonstration.

General Objectives:

1.1 know the definition for electromagnetism.

1.2 Understand the basic laws of electromagnetism.

1.3 Differentiate the basic laws of electromagnetism from one another.

Specific Objectives: At the end of the lesson students should be able to:

1.1 1. Define the term electromagnetism with the aid of the prescribed text.

1.2 1. Distinguish three basis laws of electromagnetism using the handout provided.

1.3 1. Using the text, draw a table matching the basic laws of electromagnetism with

their respective diagrams with 70% accuracy.

1.3 2. Share the table that was done with the rest of the class for correction.

Electrical circuit theory and technology by john bird, Chapter 09 pg. 90 - 100

Previous Knowledge: Understanding of magnetism as it pertains to permanent magnets

Introduction: The teacher gets the students into the mindset for class but instructs them

to have their notebooks out but not open. The teacher will give a Rationale for the

importance of electromagnetism as opposed to magnetism (The teacher will then give

an example of an item that has magnets in it (Electric bell), how long it rings

depends on the attraction exerted by an electromagnet on a soft iron core.). The

teacher will use the Projector to establish the introduction to electromagnetism. The

teacher will recall previous concepts by asking about Fleming’s Left Hand and Right-

Hand Rule.

Application: Students will be placed in groups of two and be given the task of drawing
up a table, they will outline and illustrate with the name of the law in one column, the
definition in the next column, and a simplified diagram conceptualizing the law of
electromagnetism

Summary
Teacher will summarize the lesson by reviewing the Basic laws of

Electromagnetism with students paying attention.

Conclusion:
Briefly Mention A unique device that has an electromagnet, if it was not brought
up in class. Take role call then mention the topic for next class. The teacher will then
dismiss the class for the session

Evaluation:

Student:

Define, “What is Electromagnetism?”

State, “What is an electromagnet?”

State the general function of electromagnets in electrical devices.
