Unit 7J: Electrical circuits
Section 10: Reviewing work

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to apply knowledge and understanding to a range of circuits

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Provide a range of circuit diagrams, showing series and parallel connections, switches and fuses. Give some current values and ask pupils to work out others.
  • determine current values in given circuits

Points to note

  • A software simulation could be used for generating questions and reviewing with pupils how circuits work.
