I made this smart board and corresponding booklet unit of work for my year 4 class last year. I used it again this year and made some adjustments to it as needed. Electricity is such a fun topic for children and this booklet and smart allows them to combine their knowledge of electrical circuits with design elements. There are work sheets included for a whole term as well as a brief smart too.
