Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Electricity Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - Distinction Electricity. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Grade 10 Electricity Scheme of Work offers comprehensive lesson plans for Term 3 2026. Utilizing the Distinction Electricity textbook (pages 179–207), this resource focuses on electronic components, semiconductor physics, circuit design, breadboard testing, and fault diagnosis.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Electronics
    • Semiconductor Diodes
    • Transistors

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Semiconductor Diodes: Principle of operation of semiconductor diodes, terminal identification (anode and cathode), forward and reverse biasing, depletion layer behavior, and electron-hole recombination. Learners conduct experiments to plot current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves, measure threshold voltage, and observe avalanche breakdown. Practical applications covered include half-wave and full-wave bridge rectifiers, Zener diode voltage stabilization, LED lighting circuits with current-limiting resistors, and using multimeters to troubleshoot open and short circuit diode faults.
  • Transistors: Introduction to Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT - NPN and PNP) and Field Effect Transistors (FET - N-channel and P-channel). Learners explore base current control in BJTs, gate voltage control in FETs, and set up laboratory experiments on breadboards to measure voltages/currents and plot I-V characteristic graphs across active, saturation, cut-off, ohmic, and pinch-off regions.
  • Transistor Applications and Switching: Criteria for selecting transistors based on current gain, operating voltage, and package type for audio amplifiers, digital circuits, and power-saving devices. Learners assemble and test NPN transistor switching circuits to control loads like lamps or relays, comparing BJT and FET applications in audio amplification, microphones, smartphones, and laptops.

  Fully formatted in clean HTML for direct upload, this Grade 10 Electricity Scheme of Work provides complete term planning with practical experiments, schematic drawing tasks, and review tests for 2026.
