Important Inventions Look at the different home equipment here. None of these appliances can work without electricity to power or charge them. Rank the items in order of the most important to the least important in your home. computer kettle hoover washing machine television mobile phone MP3 player hairdryer Challenge: How did you choose the two most important items?

Complete Circuits Can you draw some more complete circuits using these components? cell A. Cell, bulb, motor bulb bulb 1 B. 2 cells, bulb C. A piece of aluminium foil, a cell, a bulb closed switch 2 cell bulb bulb cell Challenge: Circuit 1 is very similar to circuit 3. Circuit 3 has 2 cells instead of 1. What impact will the extra cell have? Write a sentence that describes what happens when more cells are added to a circuit. 3 cell cell Photo courtesy of Lestyn Lloyd @flickr.com) - granted under creative commons licence - attribution Photo courtesy of kjarrett, Editor B, Michael.aulia, Steve A Johnson, sunshinecity, MattsMacintosh, JVC America and edans (@flickr.com) granted under creative commons licence attribution
The Experiment A group of children are given a selection of equipment. They must make a complete circuit to light the bulb. This is the equipment they were given: wires a bulb a paperclip 2 split pins a cell 1. Draw a complete circuit using all of this equipment. Use the split pins and paper clip to make a switch. 2. Draw the circuit again showing the switch in the off position. split pins Challenge: The paper clip is replaced with a plastic hair clip. What happens?
