SCIENCE

National Curriculum:

Electricity

associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit

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

use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram

Discussions, Sharing ideas/views

WOW! Practical Introduction

Does wire length affect how components in a circuit work?

Give the children a selection of electrical components:Electrical wires with crocodile clips (need a selection of short and long wires) Bulbs Bulb Holders Batteries Battery Holders (single and double) Buzzers Motors Switches.Set the children the challenge of making a circuit and then creating an investigation to answer the scientific question.

Investigations:

Length of wires/distance travelled

What factors affect the brightness of a lamp or the loudness of a buzzer in a circuit?The brightness of a lamp or the loudness of a buzzer is affected by the number and voltage of cells in the circuit. More cells or higher voltage increase the energy supplied, making the lamp brighter or the buzzer louder.

Why do components like bulbs, buzzers, or switches vary in their function within a circuit?Components vary in function based on factors such as the amount of current flowing through them, the voltage applied, and whether the circuit is open or closed.

How are simple circuits represented in diagrams, and why is this important?Simple circuits are represented using recognised symbols, such as a circle with a cross for a lamp or a rectangle for a buzzer.
