Understanding Electricity
Using specialised equipment which clearly shows all components of the electrical circuit and the unbroken ring of conductors, pupils are able to visually access the world of electricity.
Pupils take part in exciting hands-on experiments with batteries, lights, switches, wires and coils and learn how to complete a circuit board.
Watch as a bulb is controlled from bright to dim or a buzzer controlled from soft to loud. Learn how a motor is made to go backwards and forwards, fast and slow.
