Current Voltage and Resistance Explained Distance Learning and Homeschool for KS2
What are current, voltage and resistance and what is the relationship between them in an electrical circuit? What are the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit?
Look no further for a unique and engaging explanation of these concepts!
This action-packed distance or remote learning package introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver (the electron) using up energy obtained from food (the battery) and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (metal ions)(high resistance). The resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires is explained and a simulated practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The 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. There is also a short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
Objective
To know and explain :
that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
how metal ions cause resistance.
the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Resources
Animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by explaining :
how to use distance learning effectively;
how to use this resource;
current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work.
Two worksheets, two cut-out activities and a word search - answers in the PowerPoint.
A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning.
Checklist - students asses progress.
A short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
Printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.

Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible

How to Play.
Highest score of dice starts
Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares.
Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces.
If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces.
In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.
