Lesson Two – Insulators and Conductors
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify, describe and compare different materials that have a high or low resistance to the flow of electricity when part of a circuit.
The class can conduct and record the results of a scientific test to explore the resistance to the flow of electricity of different materials to match their individual properties.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify, describe and compare different materials that have a high or low resistance to the flow of electricity when part of a circuit
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the different materials that are insulators and conductors and a worksheet to investigate different materials that have a high and low resistance to the flow of electricity when part of a simple circuit.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the different materials that have a high or low resistance to the flow of electricity.
This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify and record how to build a range of electrical series circuits to control and manage devices and components for different functions and outputs. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
