• Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
• Science, Year 4, Electricity
• 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
• Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit.
• Science, Year 6, Electricity
• Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches.
• A complete set for teaching basic and advanced electricity concepts using magnetic connections.
• Facilitates the observation of electrical paths with its transparent wires and clear bases, ideal for educational demonstrations.
• This educational kit is designed to fully engage children by demonstrating practical aspects of electricity. It supports understanding of simple series circuits, essential components, and their functions, making it a valuable tool in the Science curriculum for KS1 and KS2. Children can explore the effects of altering circuit connections and explore the conductivity properties of different materials.
• The kit aligns with Year 4 and 6 curriculum requirements, ideal for lessons on circuit functionality and the impact of additional power sources on component performance. It facilitates hands-on, visible learning, helping children grasp abstract concepts like electricity's pathway, switch operations, and component behaviour in circuits.
Note: 3 x C Batteries are required but not included.
