Electrical energy can be transferred and transformed in electrical circuits and can be generated from a range of sources
Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations
Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another
Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another
Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity; electric circuits enable this energy to be transferred to another place and then to be transformed into another form of energy

Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions
Investigate the transfer and transformation of energy in electrical circuits, including the role of circuit components, insulators and conductors

An investigation of whether electricity moves better through different wire gauges.
Use this resource when exploring the concept of electricity in the upper years.
Students are required to follow the method to complete the investigation and then record and discuss their results on the accompanying worksheet.
This teaching resource would be a great inclusion to a lesson or unit regarding the Physical Sciences of electricity.
