Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these materials give children some some hands on experience and revision of what they already know about electricity and circuits through a circus of activities.

Can they complete and repair circuits? What dangers does electricity pose?

Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these materials look at fixing faults in electric circuits. Children start the session with some drama before turning their attention to some circuits in need of attention.

Children repair broken circuits and identify repairs needed using circuit diagrams.

This activity from Hamilton Trust, helps children investigate the properties of electric circuits. It provides a concept cartoon, which is a...

These materials, from the Hamilton Trust, challenge children to identify the differences between series and parallel circuits. They work in small groups to create circuits and switches.
