L.O: To know that some materials allow electricity to flow through them.
LO: I can make a simple circuit using a battery, bulb and wires.
L.O: I can design and analyse a diagram circuit.
1. Hook - Let's get motivated to learn!
2. Authenticity - Why are we doing this?
Why is it so important that we keep developing our science and technology skills?

Now let's extend our knowledge and do some new research.
Use the chilli research links below to help summarise and make notes on electricity.
Cofia: Summarising, making short, bullet point style notes.
Key Questions:
Gwyrdd - 1. What is an electric circuit?
Oren - 2. What does a circuit look like?
Can you draw one with the correct symbols?
Oren - 3. What are some examples of conductors and insulators?
Coch - 4. What other key words are there?
Porffor - 5. What is a series circuit?
What is a parallel circuit?
HWB Britannica can help you:
1. Type in: 'Electric Circuit' and go to the first link.
2. Choose your reading level and summarise the main points.
3. Cofia: You can use headphones and click 'Play' to have it read to you as well.

4. Application - Let's Get to Work!
Gwyrdd Chilli:
Make a series circuit using a cell, a bulb, 1 switch and wires.
Add more light bulbs to investigate what happens.
Oren Chilli:
Make a series circuit using a cell, a bulb, 1 switch and wires.
Add more cells to investigate what happens.
Coch Chilli:
Make a parallel circuit using a cell, starting from at least 2 bulbs, at least 2 switches.
Add more light bulbs and measure the readings on an ammeter.
Record your circuits from the simulator by taking a screen shot and putting it into either J2E or Hwb for your evidence.
Your science book just needs the digital slip then to show where your evidence is.
