Y6 Making and Investigating Circuits

Pupils make a range of circuits and investigate what happens when they change and add various components.


Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches; use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
  • NaG - building on their work in year 4, pupils should construct simple series circuits, to help them to answer questions about what happens when they try different components
  • WS - systematically identifying the effect of changing one component at a time in a circuit
