This action-packed distance or remote learning package explains conductors and insulators in terms of high and low resistance as caused by collisions between electrons and metal ions. It then takes students through designing a circuit to test a range of materials and a results table.
The simulated practical takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
- To know that conductors conduct electricity and non-metals do not.
- To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators.
- To be able to design a test circuit and results table.
- To explain why some materials are conductors.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. There is also a short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
Resources
-
An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by:
explaining how to use distance learning effectively;

explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. -
Four worksheets, a cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint.
-
A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning.
-
A checklist for students to use to assess their progress.
-
A short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
-
For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.
Ways to Use this Resource
- Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets.
- Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet and provide a hardcopy of worksheets for students. Those families who do not wish to collect worksheets or who are in isolation can print the worksheets at home.

Current Electricity- Conductors and Insulators Explained - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS2
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. The classroom resource consists of an animated 13 slide PowerPoint and 13 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 37 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. The practical, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. **Objective** * To know that conductors conduct electricity and non-metals do not. * To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators. * To be able to design a test circuit and results table. * To be able to explain why some materials are conductors.

Current Electricity - An Introduction for KS2 - Distance Learning or Home Learning
Three action-packed distance or remote learning packages including understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance, conductors and insulators and circuit symbols and circuit diagrams. These resources have been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. The simulated practicals take the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results. **Objective** The three resources in this bundle: • explain the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; • explore the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit; • define and explain the terms conductor and insulator; • identify the basic circuit symbols an introduce recognition of series and parallel circuits; • provide practice in drawing circuit diagrams from sketches; • provide practice in designing a test circuit and tables; **Resources** 1. An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by: explaining how to use distance learning effectively; explaining how to use this resource; explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. 2. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint. 3. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning. 4. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress. 5. For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school. **Ways to Use this Resource** * Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets. * Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet and provide a hardcopy of worksheets for students. Those families who do not wish to collect worksheets or who are in isolation can print the worksheets at home. * Students without photocopying facilities are instructed to write their answers in full sentences and to writs a sentence to describe any circuit diagrams drawn.
