Explaining and demonstrating conductors and insulators in terms of high and low resistance as caused by the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions, the engaging and easy to follow animated PowerPoint then takes the student through designing a test circuit and table then drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
- To know that conductors conduct electricity and insulators do not.
- To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators.
- To be able to design a test circuit and results table.
- To explain why some materials are conductors or insulators in terms of the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions

With 13 original, enjoyable and engaging pupil resources and two PowerPoints, this pack is designed to be totally bespoked by the teacher to perfectly match pupil ability and time available.
A one-page flow-chart suggested lesson plan is included showing the logical places where choices between resources can be made. Instructions for use are clearly stated on each resource.
Resources include elements of literacy, oracy, self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment which are clearly identified on the flow-chart.
The animated PowerPoint is the backbone of the lesson. The other is the answer/mark scheme for all assessment material so that self-assessment and peer assessment is extremely easy. Facility is also made for pupils to reflect on their performance.

Intro to Current Electricity KS2
Explaining what conductors and insulators are, introducing circuit symbols and circuit diagrams and comparing lamps in series and parallel - this pack provides a firm foundation on which to start to build your students knowledge of current electricity. **Included in this pack** * Comparing Lamps in Series and Parallel * Conductors and Insulators Explained * Circuits and Symbols and Circuit Diagrams Each lesson comes with its own animated and easy to follow PowerPoint complete with exit ticket quiz and a separate PowerPoint with detailed mark schemes for easy self-assessment and peer assessment. With each lesson come with up to 14 printables so that teachers can bespoke their lesson to take account of the ability of their students and time available. A one page lesson plan flow chart shows where logical choices between resources can be made if necessary. Assessments are supported by PowerPoints with detailed answer and mark schemes to enable a choice of teacher, student or peer assessment. **Objectives** * To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. * To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. * To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. * To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. * To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. * To know the symbols for a switch, a resistor, a lamp, a voltmeter, a battery and an ammeter. * To be able to recognise series and parallel circuits. * To be able to draw simple and complex * To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer. * To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change. * To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness. * To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out. * To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.series and parallel circuits from sketches and descriptions **What You Get For each Lesson** * Animated PowerPoint complete with exit ticket quiz * Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) * Anticipation Guide (combined starter and plenary) * Foldable * Cut-and-stick activity * Practical worksheets for labs * Homeworks * Worksheets and guided notes * Taboo Cards * Pupil progress self-assessment checklist [Elf Off the Shelf Shop](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/penyrheol1)
Current Electricity- Conductors and Insulators Explained - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS2
Explaining and demonstrating conductors and insulators in terms of high and low resistance as caused by the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions, the engaging and easy to follow animated PowerPoint then takes the student through designing a test circuit and table then drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. The classroom resource consists of an animated 13 slide PowerPoint and 13 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 37 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. The practical, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. **Objective** * To know that conductors conduct electricity and non-metals do not. * To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators. * To be able to design a test circuit and results table. * To be able to explain why some materials are conductors.
