This is a fun and engaging lesson that uses a range of quick competitions and tasks to ensure that the students recognisethe electrical symbols for the essential components and can describe the functions for each of these. Competitions such as SNAP and SAY WHAT YOU SEE will introduce the students to the components and their symbols. This lesson has been written for GCSE students and looks to build on what they should know from KS3 - however, it could be used with higher ability students at that level.

Electrical circuits
This bundle of 11 lessons covers the key details about electrical circuits that students need to know for their GCSE studies. It could also be used with younger students at KS3 who are studying this topic. All aspects of the topic are covered such as series and parallel circuits, electrical current, resistance and potential difference and the components found in these circuits. In addition, there are lessons on plugs, mains electricity and the National Grid so that students can make links between these topics. All of the lessons are detailed and engaging and students will contain regular progress checks so that students can assess their understanding
