Dear boys,
We have completed our unit on Electrical Systems today. It is time to work on your concept map to summarise your key learning points for this unit and at the same time, use it as a revision tool to prepare yourself for your upcoming Science Performance Task (28 Feb).
Deadline: 1 March (Tuesday)
Do set aside around 2 hours to work on this assignment.
- On ONE piece of drawing block paper (or any A3 size paper)
- Single side only
- Handwritten concept maps preferred; you are more likely to stay focused :)
- Neatness
- Use headings / sub-headings to organise similar ideas together
- No isolated or "floating" concepts
Concept mapping is a useful tool for Science revision as it helps to consolidate the main points of a theme/topic. Hence I expect everyone to put in their best effort as you are expected to keep all your P4 - P6 concept maps until PSLE.
Please refer to your Science Journal notes & worksheets as you develop your concept map.
Key concepts to be included in your concept map
Checklist
1. Electricity - What is it?
2. Parts & functions of the electrical system
3. Circuit diagram symbols
4. Circuit diagram drawing tips
5. How to check the condition of components
6. Close vs open circuit
7. Electrical conductors & insulators - Definition & examples
8. Circuit tester - What is it? / Function?
9. Factors affecting the brightness of a bulb
10. Advantages / disadvantages of bulbs in series & parallel arrangement
11.Advantages / disadvantages of batteries in series & parallel* arrangement
12. Sources of electricity
13. What to look out for during Performance Task?
