Term 2 - Electricity

‘Bulbs and Batteries’

The difference between a cell and a battery is that a cell is a single unit that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, and a battery is a collection of cells. ... Aggregating cells into a battery increases the electrical voltage they produce.

LEARNING INTENTION:

  1. Understand an electrical circuit must have a power source, a conductor, energy device and a closed pathway.
  2. Carry out simple circuit constructions (includes series and parallel) and test materials for conductivity
  3. Draw simple circuit diagrams
  4. Compare static electricity and current electricity and understand the difference
  5. Explore the role switches play in circuits
  6. Use fair testing skills to test effectiveness of conductors or energy sources
  7. Investigate and create a project that uses switches, bulbs and an energy device
  8. Explore how electricity impacts on society and find out how to make it sustainable (Social Science)

SUCCESS CRITERIA:

  • Can explain the big ideas and relate to experiments
  • Use vocabulary involved correctly
  • Carry out testing using the scientific process
  • Show curiosity and ask questions
  • Drawings match accepted models for circuit diagrams
  • Conclusions are made based on the evidence from experiments
  • Follow health and safety rules for the science room
