Electriciy resources for year 2

[sarahhorton]

I am looking for some ready made resources for my year 2 teacher for teaching about electricity. Cannot seem to find any in the resources area.

Hi Sarah.

Here's a link (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.20350) to a flipchart titled 'Introduction to Circuits & Conductors' for Year 2. There's also another flipchart (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.13581) titled 'Electricity' but it's for ages 7-11.

If you're looking for some resource packs to create your own lessons then here are a few suggestions for electricity/energy related packs:

Nuclear Energy (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.10972)
Environment & Energy (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.9427)
Geothermal & Electricity (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.10971)

There are some nice web resources on Planet, too that you can link in with your flipcharts.

Here are a few good interactive ones:

Electricity and Magnets: Switches 1
This weblink shows an electric motor and two bulbs that can be arranged so they can be independently controlled by push switches. This can be used as a starter to introduce more complex switching arrangements or as a simple plenary to a lesson on circuits.
