Electricity conductors 0 Overview Using this Resource Connecting to the Curriculum Marking Student Responses Further Resources This task is about how some materials can conduct electricity. Question Using the information in the diagrams above, which of the bulbs will light up? 1 and 2 2 and 3 3 and 4 1, 2, and 3 2, 3, and 4 Why would the bulbs you chose light up? Task administration: This task can be completed with pencil and paper or online with some auto-marking. Level: 4 Curriculum info: Science, Knowledge, Physical World Keywords: physics concepts, energy, electricity, circuits, conductors Description of task: Identify from four circuit diagrams which bulbs will light up. Assessment focus: electrical circuits. Curriculum Links: Science capabilities The capabilities focus is brought about by the conversations you have and the questions you ask. Capability: Interpret representations This resource provides opportunities to discuss circuit diagrams use a particular agreed code for the different elements. Science capability: Interpret representations (TKI) Science capabilities: Interpret representations Making Better Sense: Circuits Answers/responses: Y8 (12/1997) a) B easy b) Because the materials are metals/conduct electricity. [In part b), if the student indicates that the materials conduct electricity they can be given a mark even if an incorrect option was chosen in part a).] moderate Lights and bells Torch parts Draw the circuit diagram On or off? Circuit investigations Reading and drawing circuit diagrams Circuit diagrams Turn on the light Parallel and series What is wrong? How a torch works Drawing circuit diagrams Bright lights Circuit diagrams II Removing bulbs Switches Switching on the bulbs
