Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify symbols that can be used for electrical components in circuit diagrams and a set of cards to select and record different ways of correcting faults in a range of electrical circuits with different components.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore different ways of repairing broken circuits by changing and adding electrical components.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
