Electricity
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets 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. The class show how to use an electrical circuit to solve a problem.
Identify and record how to build a range of electrical series circuits to control and manage devices and components for different functions and outputs
Lesson One : Simple Circuits
Investigate, model and record some of the different ways of building simple electrical circuits to control a range of devices
Lesson Two : Insulators and Conductors
Identify, describe and compare different materials that have a high or low resistance to the flow of electricity when part of a circuit
Lesson Three : Circuit Switches
Explain and record how to build a circuit switch to use in an electrical device to solve a problem by constructing an alarm that will occur when a specific event occurs
Lesson Four : Using Switches
Explain and record how to build a circuit switch to use in an electrical device to solve a problem by constructing an alarm that will occur when a specific event occurs
Lesson Five : Changing Circuits
Investigate and illustrate some of the different ways of changing and controlling devices using electrical circuits for a range of specific functions
Lesson Six : Quiz Game
Practise using sets of series circuits to build and play a model quiz game that works using electricity to indicate the answers to each of the questions
Electricity Assessment
