DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable A4 PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is posted.

This 24 page Year 6 booklet builds on Year 4 electricity work by naming the parts of a circuit and introducing proper circuit diagrams and symbols. Pupils find out why one battery makes a bulb glow brighter than another, and a section on using electricity safely keeps the science grounded in real life. The unit closes by showing pupils how to test circuits methodically. Each Year 6 question is paired with a Watch the video button leading to a free Brenda Hayles video lesson, and the unit follows the National Curriculum for England. Diagrams using standard circuit symbols and photographs of working circuits appear throughout, with a vocabulary list at the back defining terms such as voltage.

Inside:

• Six questions, from voltage to circuit diagrams and testing
• A free video lesson for each question
• Diagrams using standard circuit symbols
• Terms such as voltage and symbol
