Electricity
From Teachers TV, this video shows four examples of lessons on electricity that are suitable for primary school children. Part of the Great Lesson Ideas series, it contains these ideas for lessons:
In a role-playing activity Deputy Headteacher Tony Davies demonstrates how electricity is instant with the use of a skipping rope circuit. Later his class work out whether they are conductors or insulators in an experiment on circuits involving electric ping pong balls.
Lucy Blackmore, sets her Year Five groups the challenge to design and create electrical circuit games.
David Aston, and his Years Five and Six children play a 'yes-no' game with a difference. Children have to ask questions to guess which electrical component is hidden in a box.
