Menu - SCN 2-09a

I have used a range of electrical components to help to make a variety of circuits for differing purposes. I can represent my circuit using symbols and describe the transfer of energy around the circuit.

SCN 2-09a

Benchmarks:

· Designs and builds a variety of electrical circuits for differing purposes, using an increasing range of components.

· Draws circuit diagrams using appropriate symbols to denote a bulb, switch, motor, bell, buzzer, wires, cell and a battery.

· Describes how components in a circuit transfer energy into different forms.

Build and model electrical loops - Physics NarrativeA Physics Narrative presents a storyline, showing a coherent path through a topic. The storyline developed here provides a series of coherent and rigorous explanations, while also providing insights into the teaching and learning challenges. It is aimed at teachers but at a level that could be used with students.

Build and model electrical loops - Teaching and learning issuesThe Teaching and Learning Issues presented here explain the challenges faced in teaching a particular topic. The evidence for these challenges are based on: research carried out on the ways children think about the topic; analyses of thinking and learning research; research carried out into the teaching of the topics; and, good reflective practice. The challenges are presented with suggested solutions. There are also teaching tips which seek to distil some of the accumulated wisdom.

Build and model electrical loops - Teaching approachesA Teaching Approach is both a source of advice and an activity that respects both the physics narrative and the teaching and learning issues for a topic.
