Electric Potential Difference - SENIOR PHYSICS - This physics lesson package focuses on electric potential energy, potential difference, and electric fields. The second half of the lesson is all about applying what we've learned to real-life applications such as lightning, nerve conduction, heartbeat, and batteries. It is geared toward students who are taking high school physics - senior.

This package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), fully worked lesson math calculations and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

In order, the lesson covers:

• Force of Gravity and Gravitational Potential Energy
• Electric Force and Electric Potential Energy
• Electric Potential Difference (Voltage)
• Electric Field
• Application – Lightning
• Application – Nerve Conduction
• Application – Heartbeat
• Application - Batteries

Included in the lesson package is:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• Fully worked lesson question answers
• Student lesson handout

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Within the unit - Gravitational and Electric Fields - you can find the following lesson packages:

Lesson 1 - Gravitational Fields, Orbits, and Kepler’s Laws

Lesson 2 - Electric Charge and the Electrical Structure of Matter

Lesson 3 - Electric Forces and Coulomb's Law

Lesson 4 - Electric Fields

Lesson 5 - Electric Potential Difference

Lesson 6 - Millikan’s Experiment - Determining the Elementary Charge

Lesson 7 - Particle Motion in Electric Fields

Lesson 8 - Magnetism and Electromagnetism

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
