Science:

• Pupils should be taught to construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
• Pupils should be taught to identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery.

About this Resource

Children will need to draw and create their own simple circuit. They will also be required to diagnose a circuit as to why it is not working.

We recommend self or peer marking using the answer page provided to promote discussion and self-correction.
