Current electricity in Year 8 Science
Start here
Focus on series and parallel circuits resistance. Open support for “Compare Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Production”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise series and parallel circuits resistance.
The activities include Compare Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Production, Investigate Conducting Electricity in Liquids, Investigate Resistance in Series and Parallel Circuits, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, lesson, video, worksheet. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
