By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
understand and identify the basic elements of an electrical circuit;
know when a circuit is a complete or incomplete electrical circuit;
understand that the flow of electricity moves from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the cell or battery;
build and test a range of simple circuits using common components.
National Curriculum Objectives
