SCIENCE
National Curriculum:
Electricity
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
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
recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors
debate/discussions about sources, giving instructions
WOW! Wonder Launch
How can we get the bulb to light up?
Give children a bulb, two wires and a cell. Challenge them in groups to see if they can get the bulb to light up.

What are the basic parts of a simple series circuit?The basic parts of a simple series circuit are cells (batteries), wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers.
What does a switch do in a circuit? A switch opens and closes a circuit, controlling whether or not the lamp or other components light up or work.
What are conductors and insulators, and which material is a good conductor?Conductors allow electricity to flow through them, while insulators do not. Metals, like copper, are good conductors.
