materials may be electrical insulators or conductors; energy can be transferred and transformed in electrical circuits where the components of a circuit play particular roles in the function of the circuit
- identifying necessary components for an electric circuit, such as a source of electrical energy; a conducting material such as metal wire, a key or a switch; and a light or electrical device such as a buzzer
- constructing a real or virtual electrical circuit to examine requirements to allow the flow of electricity, including exploring the construction and role of switches
- constructing representations of electrical circuits and their components using accepted conventions
- using electrical circuits and components to demonstrate electrical energy transfer and the transformation of electrical energy into heat, light and sound
- investigating different electrical conductors and insulators, and examining why they may be used
- exploring how electricity is used in homes, and identifying electrical hazards and safety measures used to mitigate these hazards
