Electricity

This resource from Physicists in Primary Schools (PIPS) supports the teaching of electricity at Key Stage Two. A presentation looks at simple circuits, electrical insulators and conductors, use of materials relating to their conductivity and electrical safety. Throughout the presentation there are class experiments, games and activities linking children’s knowledge with their experience through demonstration and discussion. There are also teachers’ notes on running the activities.
