Using electricity

Using electricity

(2)
This inteactive activity is designed to introduce pupils to the idea that some everyday objects need electricity to work. The initial page asks pupils to identify items that use electricity. Subsequent pages ask the pupils to drag electrical items into the room in a house where they might be used. The final page asks pupils to identify objects that need either mains or battery power to work and can be used to initiate discussion on safety (battery being safer than mains).
Indentifying forces
NGfLCymruNGfLCymru

Indentifying forces

(0)
This interactive activity asks the pupils to identify the forces used to move an object. Several examples are given where the force (push, pull or twist) needs to be identified, eg to push a door open. The pupils are then asked to sort a collection of toys into those which are used by pulling or pushing. As a result of this activity the pupils should be able to describe the movement of familiar things, and to know that pushes and pulls are examples of forces. The activity allows for the development of vocabulary, giving the opportunity to introduce the term 'force'.

An interactive whiteboard resource designed to extend understanding of feeding relationships. Suitable for upper KS2. Pupils are reminded of feeding relationships and food webs are revised. They are then asked to consider what would happen if one section of the web was changed or removed. Introduced to the term interdependence. Pupils then continue to investigate the effects on an ecosystem when part of it is altered in any way. Simplified models are shown and it should be stressed that the effects are far more complex in reality.
