This resource, provides teachers in the early years with a versatile
classroom resource for use on the internet or printed as and presented
as a booklet or worksheets. Linking the curriculum areas of English and
Science, the resource provides simple factual information about using
electricity safely. Photographs, illustrations and interactive activities
stimulate interest and help to develop an awareness of electricity and
electrical safety in the home.
The resource can be used in a number of ways. For example you could:
-
focus on the key ideas and elements with small groups or individuals
-
encourage children to complete activities on screen
-
print the resource and compile it as a book for shared reading with
the whole class or a small group
-
print the resource and use it for directed reading with small groups
or individuals
-
print individual chapters and use them to introduce discussion of
the key ideas
-
print individual pages for use as worksheets
A variety of activities to support and extend the learner have been included
within the student resource and a number of other ideas for teaching about
electricity are included in the teacher notes. You could adapt these and
include further activities to accommodate the needs and interests of individual
students. The local context should also be considered to enhance the relevance
of the learning experiences.
Teachers need to reinforce the importance of electrical
safety and closely supervise any real-world experiences.
