Match each of the 42 question cards on current, voltage and resistance in electrical circuits, conductors and insulators and electrical circuits and circuit diagrams with the correct answer card in this enjoyable and engaging team or individual game for middle school science.
Included in this Pack.
- 42 question cards
- 42 answer cards
- Pupil answer/score sheet
- Teacher’s answer sheet.
- Instruction sheet
Preparation
- Photocopy 1 set of question sheets and 1 set of answer sheets per group of 4 pupils.
- Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use.
- Cut sheets into cards.
How it Works.
- Each group matches the answer cards to the question cards and fills in their score sheet.
- The game stops when the first group finishes.
- Teacher reads out answers and groups check answers and complete their score card by awarding the points according to the colour of each question card.
- Emphasise that the first group to finish can still loose if they get a lot of pairings wrong.
- The group with the highest number of points wins.
Prior Knowledge Required
Current is a flow of electrons through a conductor.
Conductors heat up when current passes through them.
Batteries give the electrons energy.
Long wires and thin wires have a higher resistance than short ones.
For current to flow a circuit must be complete.
Batteries are connected positive to negative.
Metal ions cause resistance…
Know that conductors conduct electricity and insulators do not.
Metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators.
Graphite is a non-metal that conducts.
Be able to explain why some materials are conductors
and others are insulators.
Know the symbols for a switch, a resistor, a lamp, a voltmeter, a battery and an ammeter.
Recognise a series circuit and a parallel circuit.
Match a sketch of a circuit with its circuit diagram.

Current Electricity Games Compendium KS3
A compendium of six different, enjoyable and challenging games on current electricity suitable for all abilities. T Each game is fully resourced, comes with full instructions and is easy to run. The following shows the prior knowledge which is needed for each game. * What are current, voltage and resistance * Conductors and insulators * Circuits and symbols **42 Question Card Sort Team Game Dominos** * Lamps in series and parallel circuits * Current in series and parallel circuits * Voltage in series and parallel **35 Question Interactive Quiz** * The relationship between the number of batteries and current * The relationship between the number of batteries and voltage * Adding lamps **Electricity Board Game** * Switches in series and parallel circuits * Ohms Law **Smart Board Bingo Escape Room** This versatile pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack. The current electricity module is available as money-saving bundles or individual topics.

Current Electricity Intro 1 Current Voltage Resistance Conductors Insulators and Circuits and Symbols Explained KS3
**Current, Voltage and Resistance in Electrical Circuits** and the relationship between them, **Conductors and Insulators what are they and finally Using Circuit Symbols to Draw Circuit Diagrams for Series and Parallel Circuits – these three engaging and enjoyable lessons are the ideal foundation on which to build your students’ knowledge of current electricity. To reinforce learning at the end of the module, a card sort team game is included - so enjoyable students won't realise they are learning. Each lesson comes with its own animated and easy to follow PowerPoint complete with exit ticket quiz and a separate PowerPoint with detailed mark schemes for easy self-assessment and peer assessment. With each lesson come with up to 14 printables so that teachers can bespoke their lesson to take account of the ability of their students and time available. A one page lesson plan flow chart shows where logical choices between resources can be made if necessary. **What This Pack Does** * Explains the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them. * Explores the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit. * Defines and explain the terms conductor and insulator and experimentally identifies examples of each. * Identifies the basic circuit symbols an introduces recognition of series and parallel circuits. * Provides practice in drawing circuit diagrams from sketches. * Provides practice in designing a test circuit and tables. * Provides practice in building circuits. * Includes engaging activities to encourage literacy and oracy. * Includes opportunities for self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment. **What You Get** * For the Lesson * Flip its (pupil writes questions to given answers) * Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) * Foldables * Cut-and-stick activities * Practical worksheets and activities * Homeworks * Worksheets * Guided notes * Taboo Cards * Pupil progress self-assessment checklists * Bonus – Free card sort team game **For The Game** * 42 question cards * 42 answer cards * Pupil answer/score sheet * Teacher’s answer sheet. * Instruction sheet [Elf Off the Shelf Shop](/teaching-resources/shop/penyrheol1) Links to other resources in this series.

Current Electricity KS3 - The Complete Module
This one-stop-shop for middle school current electricity takes pupils from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, the resistance of conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components and finishes with Ohms Law. To reinforce learning, a three game compendium is included consisting of a card sort team game, an interactive smart board quiz and a board game - so enjoyable students won't realise they are learning.<br /> <br /> The lesson module consists of 11 fully resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 11 animated PowerPoints and over 160 assorted printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In eleven of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil.<br /> <br /> In the 39 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic.<br /> <br /> Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made if required thus enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability and time available. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts. If you purchase, please print a copy of the sequence in which the topics should be taught from the preview.<br /> <br /> What You Get<br /> For the Lessons<br /> * 11 Animated PowerPoints- each includes an exit ticket /plenary quiz<br /> * 13 Cut and stick<br /> * 11 Anticipation guide(starter and plenary)<br /> * 11 Flip Its<br /> * 11 sets of Taboo Cards<br /> * 10 Worksheets for practicals<br /> * 11 Fact sheets<br /> * 11 Foldables<br /> * 11 Fact Share Worksheets<br /> * 39 Differentiated homework/classwork worksheets<br /> * 11 PowerPoints with answers /detailed mark schemes for homework/classwork<br /> * 11 Flow chart lesson plan<br /> * Exit ticket template <br /> * ABC card template<br /> <br /> For The Games<br /> 42 question cards<br /> 42 answer cards<br /> Pupil answer/score sheet<br /> Teacher’s answer sheet.<br /> Instruction sheet<br /> <br /> Interactive Question PowerPoint with 36 differentiated questions<br /> Interactive Answer PowerPoint (which also shows the questions)<br /> Pupil answer/score sheet<br /> Instruction sheet<br /> <br /> Game board<br /> 54 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty<br /> Teacher answer sheet<br /> Instruction sheet. <br /> <br /> <br /> Sequence of Topics<br /> * Current, Voltage and Resistance<br /> * Conductors and Insulators<br /> * Circuits and Symbols<br /> * 42 Question Card Sort Team Game<br /> * Lamps in Series and Parallel<br /> * Current in Series and Parallel<br /> * Voltage in Series and Parallel<br /> * 35 Question Interactive Quiz<br /> * Does the Number of Batteries Affect Current?
