Lesson 12 — Foil Circuit Investigation (Fair Test)
Physical sciences plus inquiry, summative investigation. Students plan a fair test using foil-ribbon circuits — choosing a variable to change (e.g. foil length), variables to control, and what to measure — make a reasoned prediction, get the plan approved, then collect data. Aligns to the 'Foil circuit investigation' sample assessment. Includes a slide deck and the Foil Circuit Investigation Planner worksheet.
