This covers the whole KS3 Topic for current electricity with the following. This can be printed as a workbook, or pages used as worksheets. No other notes or worksheets are required if using this to cover the KS3 course. It includes practicals, theory and scientific skills. The electrcity mindmap can be printed separately on A3 for pupils to fill in for revision.

CURRENT

  1. Conductors and Insulators. This includes a definition, space to practise drawing a circuit diagram to test items to confirm if they are conductors or insulators. A practical can be carried out and pupils complete 2 tables with items and materials, as either conductors or insulators.
  2. Heating Effect of a Current. This includes a definition and the opportunity to make a fuse from nichrome wire to show the heating effect of a current as the wire glows read and melts. This can be a class practical or demo. This introduces the ammeter and pupils measure the current the wire melts at.
  3. Current and Charge. The definition is introduced for current. Pupils are helped to draw circuit diagrams for series and parallel circuits. Pupils are introduced to the rule of current in series and parallel.
  4. Current in a Series and Parallel Circuit. This allows pupils to calculate current in different circuits and gain more confidence with reading circuit diagrams.
  5. Current in a Series and Parallel Circuit. The outcome is the same as above, but has extension circuits near the bottom, as the circuits are more complicated. This is a tricky KS3 worksheet so good for differentiation.

VOLTAGE aka POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE
