We used the May 2019 AQA paper 1 for the Year 11 mocks. Rather than going through the markscheme, I have been trying to encourage my students to think about their answers and learn from their mistakes. I used these sheets as prompts.

However, the pictures and texts gave students some stepping stones towards the correct answer.

This activity uses the PhET circuit builder to help illustrate current and potential difference in series and parallel circuits.
