Unit Overview
Unit Title
Electricity and Energy (Physics)
Unit Summary
Basic Electricity comprises the topics like parts of the electric circuits, types of electric circuits, types of current flow, and observing proper wiring installation. The students are expected to perform actual tasks (demonstrations and presenting an output) together with their groupmates.
Subject Area
Electricity and Magnetism is one of the topics in Physics that deals with any phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons, ions, or other charged particles. In this lesson, we will focus more on the nature of electricity.  Electricity is a type of energy found in nature.
Grade Level
For Fourth Year High School Students
Approximate Time Needed
One week (good for 5 meeting sessions)
Unit Foundation
Targeted Content Standards and Benchmarks (BEC COMPETENCIES)
At the end of the Third Year Science Program, the students should be able to demonstrate understanding of the science concepts in Physics particularly in electricity, develop skills on proper wiring installation, and awareness on the benefits and danger that the electricity brought to humanity and to environment.
Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes
The students is expected to apply basic knowledge, skills and values in performing basic wiring installations, and showing genuine interest on having knowledge about electricity and its nature in order to avoid accidents related to electrical wiring connection.
Curriculum-Framing Questions
		Essential Question		How can we handle about the misconceptions about electricity in order to prevent accidents related to electricity?
		Unit Questions		Why do we need to study electricity? Does it affect our daily living? Why or why not? What is an Electric Circuit?
		Content Questions		How are we going to connect the parts of the electric circuits? How can we differentiate Series connection/circuit from Parallel connection/circuit?
Assessment Plan
Assessment Timeline
Before the discussion proper begins Students work on projects and complete tasks After project work is completed ·   The Teacher will introduce to the class a motivational activity. ·   The teacher will ask the students about the topics being discussed on the previous meeting. ·   The teacher will ask a question before he begins the lesson. ·   The teacher will present the lesson to the class through a Power Point presentation. ·   Various activities are expected as they go along. ·    The teacher will divide the class into four teams before he begins the follow- up assessment activity. ·    The students will perform an actual wiring installation together with their group mates. ·   The students will present to the class about their finished output. ·   The teacher will judge their works according the rubrics he prepared. The winning group will receive some incentives (plus points). ·    The teacher will give an assignment about the next lesson.
Assessment Summary
The students will enjoy while working with their respective groups in connecting the parts of the circuits. To begin the assessment, the class will be divided into 4 groups namely group A, B, C, and D. Each group will be provided an actual circuit board complete with materials needed in the activity. The groups are expected to present their output at the end of activity. At the end of the lesson, they will also acquire and/or develop such skills like observing, experimenting and group cooperation.

Instructional Procedures
Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction
	Special Needs Students		Cooperative learning strategy is one very fair activity for it fosters academic, personal and social success to all students through learning of personal and interpersonal skills.
	Nonnative Speakers		The teacher will accommodate all the students’ need or satisfy their hunger for knowledge by any means beyond language and group.
	Gifted/Talented Students		A fair regulation and accommodation is exercised among all students.
