Electricity Circuit Practical Activity and Resources to Teach Electricity in the Secondary Science Classroom

Support students' understanding of electricity with these revision resources

Electricity is a key unit in physics and one that often requires students to work practically in order to comprehend circuits, components and current. To support students’ understanding of electricity, we have brought together a selection of revision resources, including lessons on current, resistance and potential difference, hands-on activities exploring current and voltage, and revision games designed to support learning in the science classroom.
