cIt explores key components such as cells, bulbs, switches, buzzers, and motors, and supports accurate circuit diagram drawing using standard conventions. The video also introduces scientific vocabulary, common issues with circuit construction, and model-based analogies, including using a central heating system to represent circuit function.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Science Electricity resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support pupils in constructing safe series circuits, using correct symbols, and explaining how electricity flows in in the lesson below.
