Day 2:

Review (10 minutes): 1. Begin the class by reviewing the concepts covered in the previous lesson. 2. Ask students to share any questions or clarifications they may have regarding the factors that affect resistance.

Application and Problem-Solving (60 minutes): 1. Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a set of circuit diagrams and a multimeter (if available). 2. Instruct the groups to measure the resistance of each circuit using the multimeter and record their observations. 3. Ask the groups to analyze the circuit diagrams and identify the factors that affect resistance in each circuit. 4. Instruct the groups to solve problems related to resistance using the information provided in the circuit diagrams. 5. Circulate among the groups, providing guidance and answering questions as needed. 6. After the groups have completed their tasks, ask each group to present their findings and solutions to the class. 7. Facilitate a class discussion to compare and contrast the different approaches and solutions presented by the groups.

Conclusion (10 minutes): 1. Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson. 2. Reinforce the importance of understanding the factors that affect resistance in electrical circuits. 3. Encourage students to apply their knowledge of resistance in real-life situations and explore related fields of study, such as electrical engineering.
