Electricity resources

Students use a circuit diagram to answer questions about how removing bulbs affects the other bulbs in the circuit. Assessment focus: Electrical circuits

Students indicate on a circuit diagram where they would place switches in order to achieve various situations, such as the lamps being on, off, and other combinations.

Students are given six different circuit diagrams. They state how brightly these bulbs will glow when compared to another circuit.

This resource assess students' understanding of circuits when they explain what is wrong in five different circuit diagrams.

Students use a diagram of a circuit to answer questions about which bulbs are in parallel and which are in series. Students are also required to put a switch into the circuit diagram provided.

Students indicate how brightly a bulb would glow in three different circuits. Students then use pictures of four appliances, showing the arrangement of their cells, to draw circuit symbol diagrams illustrating this cell arrangement.

Students carry out a simple experiment with static electricity and then explain their findings.

Students are provided with four illustrations of situations where using electricity could be dangerous. Students are asked to explain why each situation is dangerous.
