Start here

Focus on series and parallel circuits resistance. Start with “Compare Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Production”, then explain the idea in your own words.

Year 8 learners practise series and parallel circuits resistance.

The activities include Compare Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Production, Investigate Conducting Electricity in Liquids, Investigate Resistance in Series and Parallel Circuits, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, lesson, video, worksheet. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.

Activities covered

  • Compare Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Production
  • Investigate Conducting Electricity in Liquids
  • Investigate Resistance in Series and Parallel Circuits
  • Learn About Mains Electricity and the National Grid
  • Study the Different Types of Resistors in Circuits
