• 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.
• Science, Year 4, Electricity
• Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
• Science, Year 6, Electricity
• Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit.
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge
• Understand and use electrical systems in their products (for example, series circuits incorporating switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors).
• Designed to hold a single zinc chloride AA battery, these holders deliver a 1.5 volts output.
• For optimal performance, please use zinc chloride batteries only. Other types of battery can cause high temperatures in some cases.
• Enabling hands-on learning about electricity, these battery holders are crucial for safe, supervised classroom experiments. They allow children to explore electrical circuits, understanding how batteries power up a circuit.
• Year 4 science lessons come to life as pupils learn about simple series circuits, identifying components that light up a lamp. Moving onto Year 6, the focus shifts towards understanding how variations in components affect circuit functions. These lessons form a practical foundation in electrical concepts.
Key Stage 2 Design and Technology projects are enriched as pupils learn to incorporate electrical systems, including series circuits, into their designs. This not only aligns with the curriculum but also sparks interest in science and technology.
• Ideal for circuitry work
• Takes 1 AA battery
• Pack of 10
