Slide Switch
A straightforward slide switch designed for educational exploration of electrical circuits.
Overview
Enables reversible motor control in circuit experiments, supporting scientific exploration and understanding in an educational setting.
This product significantly enhances science lessons by facilitating hands-on experiments with electrical circuits, particularly aimed at the Key Stage 2 curriculums in Science and Design and Technology. By using the slide switch, children can directly learn to control the flow of electricity, gaining practical insights into basic electrical components.
In Year 4 science classes, incorporating the switch in series circuits helps demonstrate electricity flow. Children observe the direct consequences of their actions on the circuit, thereby grasping the practical aspects of electrical control.
Moreover, the switch supports advanced educational outcomes in Key Stage 2 Design and Technology projects. Students incorporate the switch into their technical projects, enhancing their ability to design and troubleshoot electrical components effectively.
Supports the National Curriculum
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
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 6, Electricity
Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches.
