Week+13

Welcome to our final week


 * Physical sciences- magnets and current electricity **

Revise Week 12- static electricity, forces and energy – tell the person next to you one thing you learnt from last week.


 * Final Micro-lesson **

2nd session on PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Current electricity- Use PPT for key concepts


 * Activity – Electrical Symbols **
 * Make a simple circuit - what will you need?
 * Look at electrical symbols. Draw a diagram for a simple circuit.

Links for ideas on how to use circuits:

Teaching ideas: lots of worksheets.

Interactive Games


 * Activity - Circuits **
 * Explain open and closed circuits- students create a simple circuit and demonstrate this open and closed circuits.
 * Explore conductors and insulators- simply add a 3rd wire and test various materials. Gold rings work brilliantly, however, why don’t we use gold in our electrical wires?


 * Activity - Magnets **
 * Magnets- Look at the different types of magnets that you can purchase for schools.
 * As a group devise a question to investigate. Eg "Are all shiny things magnetic?" "Are all metals attracted to magnets?"
 * Manager collects a magnet and a snap lock bag of materials. Groups identify materials that are magnetic/ not magnetic.  Make a table, see if you have answered your question.

Magnetic facts for kids
