Understand How Circuits Work

When making an electrical circuit there are some essential components that are needed to make it work.

All circuits must have a working battery.

All circuits need wires with crocodile clips on the end.

All the other components are then a choice.

You can choose a bulb, a buzzer, a switch or a motor.

You can choose to put different numbers of these components in the circuit.

In this activity, we will practise thinking about the components that are needed in a circuit.
