Electric Circuits Posters and Practice

Display the posters in a science corner and read them together. Students then work through page 3 alone or in pairs and check with the key. Use in an electricity unit.

Four pages after the cover. Page 1 is a poster on the four parts of a circuit (battery, wire, bulb, switch) with symbols. Page 2 compares series and parallel circuits and what happens when one bulb goes out. Page 3 has 6 circuits to circle Will light or Will not light and explain why, plus 2 to label series or parallel. Page 4 has 6 electricity safety rules. The answer key gives the answers and reasons.

Yes. We made it for 3rd 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.

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.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. 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.

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 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
