Science at key stage 3 (Year 9)

Unit 9I: Energy and electricity
Section 3: a. How does electricity transfer energy?

Objectives

Children should learn:

how current behaves in electrical circuits

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
Review pupils' understanding of simple circuits - the requirements for current to flow, and the effect of the number of cells or components in series and parallel circuits (unit 7J 'Electrical circuits') - by using quiz cards that describe real circuits with faults and by measuring currents in circuits.		describe current as not being used up in a circuit and as dividing along the different branches in a parallel circuit identify that an ammeter measures flow of current
