This is an engaging model for students to participate in modelling electric circuits. It is aimed at KS3, but has been used successfully with KS4 and KS5. It helps students build a coherent model to explain circuits, although alternative models help explain energy transfers and potential difference (voltage) better.
Please note that this was originally published a number of years ago as part of the North Yorkshire Success for All project.
A premium PowerPoint slideshow that provides a visual model of the motion of charges in the circuit is also available at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12613884

very engaging, adaptable for ages 11-16
A nice idea, well done Bob Kibble, but is a shame that the questions on the final slides in the PP do not match the outcomes in the LP.
