Current electricity in Year 7 Science

14 checked activities 10 video matches

Start here

Focus on current voltage and resistance in circuits explained. Start with “Develop Understanding of Electricity, Current and Potential Difference”, then explain the idea in your own words.

Year 7 learners practise current voltage and resistance in circuits explained.

The activities include Develop Understanding of Electricity, Current and Potential Difference, Learn About Conductors and Insulators, Learn About Electrical Symbols and Circuit Diagrams, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, teaching, lesson. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
