What are the Label the Circuit: Components and Symbols?
⌄
Two pages after the cover. Page 1 has a word bank of battery, wire, bulb, switch, buzzer and motor, where students name each part and draw its circuit symbol. Page 2 shows 4 circuits, A to D, where students circle Yes or No for whether the bulb lights and explain why, then draw their own complete circuit with a battery, switch and bulb. The answer key follows.
Can I use the Label the Circuit: Components and Symbols at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 4th Grade to 5th Grade science activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 4th Grade to 5th Grade electric circuits resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are electric circuits resources for?
⌄
These are written for 4th Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 9-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these electric circuits resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 4th Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
