  1. L.O. To revise circuit knowledge. http://www.andythelwell.com/blobz/guide.html

  2. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. • I can state what a series circuit is. • I can state what a parallel circuit is. • I can identify whether a circuit is series or parallel and justify my answer.

  3. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Series Circuits Out of these Circuits which Do you think will Series and Parallel

  4. SERIES CIRCUIT 2A • current is the same • at all points in the • circuit. 2A 2A PARALLEL CIRCUIT 2A 2A • current is shared • between the • components 1A 1A

  5. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Series Circuits only one end of each component is connected e.g. phone. Parallel Circuits both ends of a component are connected e.g. household lighting

  6. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Now lets watch this video to understand more about series and parallel circuits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js7Q-r7G9ug

  7. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Only one path for current to flow Multiple paths for current to flow Total resistance increases Total resistance stays same • Holiday lights -Household Current

  8. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. In your groups cut out the symbols to design the two new circuits we have learned about.

  9. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits.

  10. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Tasks Yellow Draw a parallel and series circuit in your copy. Justify why they are each. Red Draw a parallel and series circuit in your copy. Justify why they are each.

  11. L.O. To identify series and parallel circuits. Underneath each picture write whether they are series or parallel.

  12. L.O. To recognise that switch opens and closes a circuit. • http://www.andythelwell.com/blobz/guide.html Switches Activity

  13. L.O. To recognise that switch opens and closes a circuit. Push Slide Pull Turn

  14. L.O. To recognise that switch opens and closes a circuit.

  15. L.O. To recognise that switch opens and closes a circuit. In your groups you are going to design a new switch using the materials given. You will then test your switch and make adjustments if needed.
