About

Build the circuit to control our Knex Sky Swingers.

 

Matched to the National Curriculum for Year 4 and Year 6; students get the chance to explore series circuits using switches, lights and motors. They work systematically to alter the circuit for a brighter bulb or faster ride!

By the end of the session, children will have an understanding of voltage; be able to recommend how to speed up a ride and link elements to their symbols when drawing circuit diagrams.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and classify electrical symbols
  • Use specific terminology around conductors and non-conductors
  • Investigate altering circuit layouts
  • Construct a simple series electrical circuit
  • Use their knowledge to identify differences, similarities or changes
