Current Electricity - Circuits and Symbols and Circuit Diagrams Wildcard and Snap Card Games for KS3

A pack of cards with electrical circuit symbols and descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams of series and parallel circuits instead of numbers. Take your turn in a game of wildcard or snap by matching a card exactly or, for example, by matching a sketch with its circuit diagram. A fantastic way to consolidate learning at the end of the topic or during test prep. Full instructions for playing both games are given on an animated PowerPoint. So enjoyable students will not realise they are learning.
