This unit ‘Electricity’ takes children through six lessons where they learn how to: identify common appliances that run on electricity; construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers. 

Children also learn how 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; recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit; 

Finally, recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors.

Your child will have a login to the lessons on developing experts.
