- an electrical wordsearch and a DIY wordsearch;

- scidoku - step up the sudoku challenge by using electrical terms instead of numbers;

- components loop frame - can your pupils match the electrical symbols to the terms?

- biographies - what interesting facts can your pupils find out about important scientists?
