Frankenweenie - Electricity Introduction

This is designed for a low ability KS3 class and has a theme of Frankenweenie.

Pupils start with a Think, Pair and Share activity on how Victor brought Frankenweenie back to life (for a high ability group, I would give them the Frankenstein text)
Then use the Van der Graff to show pupils electricity and ask them to define it from this.
Pupils then watch a video about what electricity is and complete a gap fill exercise.
Pupils then create a flashlight using just a few easy to come by components.
Then teach the symbols kinaesthetically, there is a video but I tend to do it myself. Go through this a number of times and finally get pupils to match the symbol with the component.
