Mains and battery electricity ks2. Bulb brightness 2 99. Switched on 2 99 lesson 6. Electricity is transported to our homes schools and places of work through wires and cables. Key stage 2 electricity science year 4 the complete series 6 lessons 12 00 lesson 1.

It is more dangerous than low voltage electricity so the cables are put at the top of big metal towers called pylons. Mains electricity and batteries electrical conductors cables and plugs switches and brightness of bulbs. Circuit components 2 99 lesson 2. Conductors and insulators 2 99 lesson 4.

Mains power before electricity reaches your home it has travelled from the power station through the power lines to the meter box and then through a series of wires and circuits to the power point in the wall waiting for an appliance to be turned on. It has cooling towers and turbines and needs a fuel to use to generate the electricity pylon high voltage electricity is used over long distances from the power stations to towns and cities. Battery or mains electricity sorting. Power station a huge building that is used to make electricity.

A simple series electrical circuit is a circuit for electricity to flow around as shown in the diagram. Children explore electrical devices and group them by which use batteries mains electricity and both. The aa task requires children to think about why the appliance uses that power source. This stored electricity is called mains power.

Primary school children also learn about simple series electrical circuits. Safe conductors 2 99 lesson 5. Mains electricity battery activity. Electricity can also be stored in batteries sometimes called cells.

The lessons look at. A straightforward sorting activity asking children to sort objects according to whether they use batteries the mains or both. Mains electricity is just a big circuit so when you plug something in at home you complete the circuit from your house to the power station and back again. Session a introduces the components of circuits and asks children to construct their own series circuits predicting which will work and saying why.
