Electricity
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to devise and construct different electrical circuits that can be used to control electrical devices for a range of specific functions in a family home. The class can select circuits that can be used to solve problems.
Devise and construct different electrical circuits that can be used to control electrical devices for a range of specific functions in a family home
Lesson One : Circuit Symbols
Practise using the correct shapes and symbols to record the structure and layout of a range of different electrical circuits in matching diagrams
Lesson Two : Repairing Circuits
Identify and record some of the different ways of repairing broken circuits by changing and adding a range of electrical components
Lesson Three : Lighting Bulbs
Create and build a range of different circuits with the correct symbols that can be used to light bulbs and power other electrical components
Lesson Four : Households
Explore and model some of the different ways of building electrical circuits that can be used to power a range of household devices such as light bulbs and door buzzers
Lesson Five : Bedroom Alarm
Devise, record and test a range of different electrical circuits that can be used as a pressure switch for a warning signal in a family home
Lesson Six : Using Motors
Devise, record and test different electrical circuits that use motors to complete a range of specific functions such as powering a toy buggy
