Electrical Basic Switch
A practical switch with easy wire connectors and a pivoting brass arm for efficient circuit setups.
Overview
An invaluable aid for demonstrating switch operations within electrical circuits, tailored for educational environments.
This resource provides a practical, hands-on way to demonstrate how switches control the flow of electricity in circuits, particularly for Year 4 Science curriculum topics on electricity. The simple design of the switch encourages children to engage directly with circuit functions, enabling them to observe the effects of open and closed circuits firsthand.
The classroom use of this switch helps demonstrate the interaction of components in a simple series circuit, where children can manipulate elements like bulbs and buzzers linked via the switch. This interactive approach supports curriculum learning by allowing children to experience and understand electrical concepts.
Moreover, this switch serves as an educational tool in demonstrating the functionality of circuit components, enriching children's learning experiences in Science and Design and Technology, and fostering analytical skills through experimental tasks.
Supports the National Curriculum
Science, Year 4, Electricity
Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit.
Science, Year 4, Electricity
Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge
Understand and use electrical systems in their products (for example, series circuits incorporating switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors).
