Year 6: Electricity
This list consists of lesson plans, activities and video clips to support the teaching of electricity at Year Six. It contains tips on using the resources, suggestions for further use and background subject knowledge. Possible misconceptions are highlighted so that teachers may plan lessons to facilitate correct conceptual understanding. Designed to support the new curriculum programme of study it aims to cover many of the requirements for knowledge and understanding and working scientifically. The statutory requirements are that children are taught to:
• associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit • compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches • use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram.

Changing circuits *suitable for home teaching*
This interactive activity could be used by small groups or pairs of children as a different way of comparing how components function within circuits. The simulation looks at how changing the thickness of a wire affects the brightness of a bulb, how changing the number of batteries affects the sound of a buzzer and how changing the number of light bulbs affects their brightness.
Children could try building the circuits from the simulation, observing the effects and giving reasons why.
Electricity
Quality Assured Category: Science Publisher: Hamilton Trust
This resource is a series of six lesson plans including concept cartoons to assess understanding and games which incorporate key vocabulary, strengthening knowledge. In Session B children are asked to identify and name the parts of electrical circuits and represent circuit diagrams using recognised symbols. Following on from this activity groups could be given circuit diagrams and asked to sort them into those that they think: will work, won't work or are unsure about, giving reasons why. Children then create the circuits from the diagrams to test them and give reasons for their findings.
In Session D children investigate whether the thickness or length of wire changes the brightness of a bulb. Children could go on to investigate the effects of changing a different component in a circuit and observing the results. For example the number of cells in a circuit.
Electrical components
Children learn about the appearance and function of different electrical components, including switches, bulbs, buzzers, motors, cells and wires. They match pictures of each component to their electrical symbols. They cut and paste descriptions of how each component functions, or write their own.
Super Sucker: Designing a Machine to Clean up Litter
Quality Assured Category: Design and technology Publisher: ENGINEER Project
This project provides a design and technology project in which children focus on electric circuits, motors and batteries to build their own mini-vacuum cleaner. Children take a detailed look at a hairdryer identifying its different parts and their functions. Applying previous learning about circuits, they then look at motors and fans, focussing on how differences in design change the effectiveness of the fan. They then make a switch for their device. Working in groups they design and build their own vacuum cleaner, thinking about materials and component parts and how they will work to solve the initial problem.
Investigating Electricity
Quality Assured Category: Design and technology Publisher: Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focuses on the investigation of how different supply voltages affect the brightness of a lamp.
Lamps produce light when connected to an appropriate power supply, such as a battery. Investigating how different battery voltages affects their brightness is key to understanding how series electrical circuits work.
In this activity learners will assemble three different lamp circuits; one powered by a single AA battery, one powered by two AA batteries and one powered by three AA batteries. They will investigate the brightness of the lamp for each configuration. They will learn about current, voltage and how simple series circuits work.
Session D: Circuit Investigations
Quality Assured Category: Design and technology Publisher: Hamilton Trust
Concept cartoons are a great tool to assess children's understanding and challenge their ideas through a follow-on investigation. In this activity children investigate the question: Does the length of the wire make a difference to how brightly a bulb glows? They could also look at other questions to investigate including Does the thickness of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?
Fruit Lights
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on the use of fruit to power a light emitting diode (LED).
Did you know that fruit can be used to produce electricity? Connecting four lemons in series can provide enough voltage to light an LED! This also helps us to understand how batteries work.
In this activity learners will construct a series circuit consisting of four fruit batteries and an LED. They will learn about the main parts of a battery and how fruit can be used to provide enough voltage to light an LED. They will also investigate how the brightness of the LED changes depending on the number of fruit batteries used in the circuit.
Clever Circuits
Quality Assured Category: Science Publisher: Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
Circuit diagrams are used to draw circuits with circuit symbols. This provides many advantages over using pictures, such as making them easier to understand and saving time when drawing them.
In this activity learners will construct a series circuit using a battery, switch, resistor and an LED. They will learn about why symbols are used instead of pictures to represent components and produce a circuit diagram for the circuit that they have constructed.

Electricity For Kids!
You know that helplessness you feel when the power goes out?
Ironically, it’s both the literal and figurative powerlessness that makes us realize how often we take electricity for granted.
No lights. No refrigeration. No heat or air conditioning. No hot water.
No comfort.
And if it is widespread enough, there’s no telling how long it will be before it’s fixed.
That’s because powering up gadgets that use electricity might seem as easy as flipping a switch. But in reality, electrical circuits are an intricate system of electrons and conductors working harmoniously to sustain our modern world.
Teach Starter has created a set of electricity slides ready-made for your classroom! In this science class teaching presentation, you will guide your students in understanding the elements of energy found in electricity and circuits. Let’s take a look at some of the common questions that may arise during this unit of study!
What Is Electrical Energy?
Electricity is a type of energy that is generated by the movement of small charged particles known as electrons. This energy is used to power many different everyday devices and appliances. Electricity can be found in batteries, power sockets, and even in natural occurrences such as lightning.
Whenever we plug in a device like a computer or a phone or switch on a light, we are using electrical energy. It travels through wires and circuits, allowing us to do all sorts of useful things, such as illuminating rooms and running our gadgets.
What Is a Circuit?
An electrical circuit is a pathway that allows electricity to flow and perform different tasks. It is made up of different parts that work together to achieve this purpose.
The circuit begins with a mighty power source, such as a battery or electrical outlet, where the electricity begins its journey. The wires or conductors act as the roads in the circuit, transmitting electricity from the power source to the required destination.
But wait, there’s more! Circuits also contain components that utilize electricity to perform different tasks, making them incredibly versatile. For example, a light bulb uses electricity to produce light, while a fan uses it to spin and keep you cool.
And the best part? Circuits may even feature switches, which operate like traffic signals for electricity. A switch can turn the circuit on, allowing electricity to flow, or off, stopping the flow.
When all the parts are correctly connected, electricity can move through the circuit, and the components can easily perform their functions. This mechanism powers everything from household lights and appliances to everyday gadgets and beyond. It’s truly remarkable how a circuit is an electrical pathway that enables things to work like magic!
How to Use Our Electricity and Electrical Circuits Lesson With Your Students
This 27-slide teaching presentation was designed for a classroom setting to introduce and discuss the concepts of:

 EdPlace's Upper KS2 Home Learning Science Lesson: Circuit DiagramsLooking for short lessons to keep your child engaged and learning? Our experienced team of teachers have created English, maths and science lessons for the home, so your child can learn no matter where they are. And, as all activities are self-marked, you really can encourage your child to be an independent learner. Get them started on the lesson below and then jump into our teacher-created activities to practice what they've learnt. We've recommended five to ensure they feel secure in their knowledge-5-a-day helps keeps the learning loss at bay (or so we think!). Are they keen to start practising straight away? Head to the bottom of the page to find the activities. Now...onto the lesson! Let's See Whether You Need To Electrify Your Current ThinkingElectric things are so much part of our lives! Gaining a current understanding of how electricity does what it does is vital life learning. So, is it OK to add more and more stuff into a circuit and will it work the way you want it to? It’s time to switch on the memory cells and get ready for a flow of charged articles. At EdPlace we’re surrounded by a team of experts who communicate these concepts with children on a day-to-day basis, and we’re ready to share their teaching gems with you. Every good lesson has a purpose or an objective. We’re confident by the end of this that your child will: 1) Recognise the different circuit symbols 2) Understand the way a circuit should be drawn 3) Apply this understanding to circuit diagram questions 4) Explain this back to you (if they've really cracked it!) Step 1 - Time to switch into concentrating mode...Now, like so many things in science, it’s really important for your young scientist to be able to relate the stuff they do here and in the classroom to real life. Electric circuits are a great example and you don’t have to look too far to see circuit diagrams for your house, car, smartphone, TV and so on – they’re very common things. So, having a good understanding of how circuits work and what the symbols mean is really useful. So, let’s start with the basics and go from there: Now, remember – electric current won’t flow unless it’s got a complete circuit to flow around. In Y6 things are still pretty simple and you’re only dealing with a series circuit , which is simply a single complete loop. So, what’s powering the electricity – making the current flow?  An electrical cell (a battery contains several cells) pushes electric current around a circuit . Its symbol is the long/short line (with the long line being the + end of the cell ). So, a drawing of a simple series circuit of one cell powering one lamp looks like this:  Would you agree, that’s a bit of a faff to draw like a picture and takes ages - so let’s try it as a circuit diagram instead – like this:  Isn’t that simple? Just a cell (two lines), a lamp (circle with an X in), and lines to join them together. So, what have we got: a series circuit (one continuous loop), powered by a cell which pushes the electric current around, and components (like a lamp ) which turn on with that current . OK? Well, now that’s sorted, let’s go through the components your young scientist needs to know and then we can try out a few circuits to get things into context. Let’s power up that understanding... Step 2 - Y ou don’t need to blow a fuse to get these diagrams nailed.Right, let’s start with a simple list of the components that are used at Year 6 – see whether your young scientist can find pictures of the actual components they use in science lessons to compare the circuit symbols we’re going to use here:  Step 3 - Are you ready to complete the circuit and enjoy that light bulb moment?So, let’s have a look at a few circuits and see what’s going on. You get your young scientist to predict what they think will happen, then reveal the answer to check. Then, once we’re happy with that, let’s try out some proper questions. Will it work? What should you see/hear when it’s turned on? OK, we’ve got a cell, lamp, and buzzer all connected in series. No gaps, so it should work fine. If so, you’d see the lamp shine (normal brightness) and the buzzer will make a sound. What’s next?  What have we connected together here? How will we make it work? What will happen? This time there’s a series circuit consisting of a cell connected to a lamp , motor and switch . To make it work you’d have to close the switch to complete the circuit and allow the current to flow. When that happens, the lamp will come on and the motor will start to turn. Simples! Shall we try one more?  Again, what’s connected here? What will happen when either or both switches are closed? How do you think we could make it work? Now, this one’s a little trickier. Remember, for a circuit to work what do we have to have? A complete circuit and cells connected in the same way. This time, if we close one switch , there’s still a gap – until we close the other switch as well. However, look at the two cells – they are facing opposite ways: negative end to negative end. That won’t work! So, to make the lamp come on, you’d have to turn one of the cells round and close both switches! That needed some thought! However, do you feel that your young scientist is getting the hang of this? In trying to work out what will happen, the symbols fall into place and it begins to make sense. Yes? In Years 7/8 they’ll be introduced to more components, parallel circuits, and so on and it makes a massive difference if these basics are all solid and in place. Ready to try some questions? Great! Let’s check it out... Step 4 - time to see whether your young scientist is a circuit powerhouse!So, let’s start off with converting pictures into circuit diagrams . Look at the circuit picture and draw out on a piece of paper what the circuit diagram should look like, with the correct symbols . Got that?  Next – simply decide what each of these symbols represents:  5. Finally, here are three series circuits containing lamps and cells:  Simply decide which lamps are on and also whether any are brighter than others. Step 5 - Activity TimeNow, you’ve covered this together why not put this to the test and assign your child the following five activities in this order. All activities are created by teachers and automatically marked. Plus, with an EdPlace subscription, we can automatically progress your child at a level tailored to their needs. Sending you progress reports along the way so you can track and measure progress, together - brilliant! Activity 1 - Simple Circuits 2 Activity 2 - Circuit Basics 1 Activity 3 - Circuit Diagrams 1 Activity 4 - Circuit Basics 2  4. Hopefully, those circuit symbols were very straightforward: W = lamp/bulb X = cell Y = motor Z = buzzer 5. In the final set of three circuits , the task was to decide which lamps were on and to decide if any were brighter. Well, in circuit C did you notice that the cells are ‘back-to-front’? Since they’re facing different ways, no current will flow in that circuit, so the lamp is not on.In circuits A and B, the lamp is on in both, but B has got two cells (twice the power), so the lamp in B will be brighter than the one in A.
