Current Electricity Intro to Current Electricity 4 KS3
Resource Bundle
What do switches do in series circuits and how can they be used to operate components in simple and complex parallel circuits? What are current, voltage and resistance in an electrical circuit? How is Ohms Law to find resistance in series and parallel circuits. This fully resourced comprehensive and enjoyable lesson uses an animated PowerPoint to explain everything and is supported by twenty six printables which include starters, plenaries, guided notes, worksheets, homework and activities.
Easy to follow instructions are given on the PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself.
