🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To understand how electrical circuits work

Success Criteria: I can identify circuit components, test materials as conductors/insulators, and draw circuit diagrams using standard symbols.

Read the information below about the main parts of an electrical circuit:

1. Match each component to its function by drawing lines:

Battery

Bulb

Wires

Provides the electrical energy

Connects components together

Converts electrical energy to light

2. Complete the sentence:

For electricity to flow, there must be a complete _____________ with no breaks.

🔬 Investigation: Testing Conductors and Insulators

3. Test each material with your circuit. Does electricity flow through it?

Tick ✓ the correct column for each material:

Material	Conductor (electricity flows)	Insulator (electricity doesn't flow)

4. What pattern do you notice about which materials are conductors?

5. Use the standard circuit symbols to draw your test circuit below:

Remember to include: battery, bulb, wires, and a gap where you test materials

6. Label your circuit diagram with these words:

Battery • Bulb • Wire • Test gap

7. Reflection: Why is it important to know which materials are conductors and insulators?

8. Design a circuit with two bulbs that can be controlled separately. Draw your design below:
