Making Circuits
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Build simple circuits from pictures or demonstrations.
- Identify components from their circuit symbols, and draw the circuit symbol for common components.
- Identify...
Electric Current
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Define current as a flow (of ‘electricity’) around a complete circuit that is measured with an ammeter.
- Recognise that current is the same at each point around a simple series...
