Ideal for supporting circuit work in science and various projects in design and technology.

Easy to integrate into classroom settings, these bulb holders allow children to engage directly in building and understanding simple series electrical circuits. By identifying and naming parts like cells, wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers, they gain hands-on experience critical to grasping basic electronic concepts.

Incorporating these bulb holders into lessons can support the complexity and excitement of science experiments for Year 4 students. They facilitate learning how to construct circuits and use components optimally, such as making a lamp light up within a complete loop, and understanding the function of switches in circuit control.
Further usage through Year 6 allows children to explore relations between cells' number and voltage and the brightness of lamps or volume of buzzers. This hands-on approach empowers students to hypothesise about the physical properties of electrical circuits, supporting curriculum objectives effectively.

Science, Year 4, Electricity

Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.

Science, Year 4, Electricity

Identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery.

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.
