Electrical symbols and Building Circuits Lesson

This lesson guides students through how to convert a circuit diagram of a series or parallel circuit into a built one. It starts with circuit symbols, then step by step it shows using photographs how circuits are built from diagrams.

This resource contains:
40+ slide powerpoint with quizzes on symbols and plenary quiz on recognising series and parallel circuits along with photographs and instructions on how to build each circuit
Worksheets with circuit diagrams and photographs
Information sheet for learning the circuit symbols

( I designed this lesson because I and my students wasted a lot of time trying to build more complicated circuits to measure voltage and current-so hopefully time spent here will save time later in other lessons).

I will be publishing more resources on electricity, but in the meantime, if you want a free animation on electricity to help click here:
