England
Key Stage 2
Programme of study: Science
Sc4 Physical processes; Electricity
- 1a: to construct circuits, incorporating a battery or power supply and a range of switches, to make electrical devices work
- 1b: how changing the number or type of components in a series circuit can make bulbs brighter or dimmer
- 1c: how to represent series circuits by drawings and conventional symbols
QCA scheme of work primary science unit 6G: Changing circuits
Wales
Key Stage 2
Programme of study: Science
Physical processes; Electricity
- 1.1: that a complete conducting circuit, including a battery or power supply, is needed for a current to flow to make electrical devices work
- 1.2: to investigate how switches can be used to control electrical devices in simple series and parallel arrangements
- 1.3: that the brightness of bulbs can be controlled by altering the current
- 1.4: ways of varying the current in a circuit, including changing the power supply, and changing the length of conductor in a circuit
- 1.5: how to represent simple circuits by drawings and diagrams
