Description
Explore the full study using of electricity with this Project Pack. From electrical components, images, series circuits, parallel circuits, building working circuits to designing an end product. This product takes your students on an exciting, fully resourced journey through electrical circuits.
This product brings together some of our existing products along with an accompanying brand new PowerPoint presentation and 4-page student work book to explore all elements of electrical circuits, including:
- Recognizing Components (names, scientific symbols)
- Drawing scientific circuits using component images
- Exploring drawn scientific circuits
- Troubleshooting errors in drawn scientific circuits and explaining how to fix issues
- Building series and parallel circuits
- To the strengths and issues within both series and parallel circuits
- Designing own project (game or model based using own ideas and what has been learned throughout the project).
Included in this product is everything you need to teach electrical circuits to your students:
- 27 slide PowerPoint taking your students from the very first stage of gathering their knowledge, through all elements of electrical circuits as listed above
- 4 page Student Workbook to plan, design, create and review their own electrical product
- Embedded YouTube links to education videos sharing "how to" strategies with your students and ideas for the projects they could develop
- 54 Scientifically drawn electrical circuits (series and parallel) for students to evaluate and build - as well as identifying errors, similarities and differences between them
- 13 Circuit Symbol Component posters with names
- 26 Circuit Symbol component cards and separate name set to support Science Center activities.
This project pack includes everything you need to take your students from knowing nothing about electrical circuit work to being able to create their own electrical product using chosen circuits (series of parallel) component parts, and to be able to draw the correct circuit they are using and explain how it works! All you need to add are the electrical components and modelling resources your students need to explore the different circuits and to create their own product.
Please note that three of these resources are available for separate purchase from our store (54 electrical circuit pack, 13 circuit component symbols, 26 symbols and name cards). They are included within this project pack as they are referred to within the PowerPoint and support learning at each step of the project.
Our 5th graders loved this project pack and came up with some incredible games and vehicles by the end of their study time. We hope that your students enjoy this too.
Thank you for visiting our store.
Best wishes
