Introduction
The unit 'Using electricity' introduced # to the concept of electricity and the essential role it plays in everyday life. It has also introduced * to the hazards associated with mains electricity. ~ experimental and investigative work focused on * thinking about what ^ expected to happen and whether results supported ~ prediction.^ has explored and testing circuits. ^ was able to make ~ own observations and ^ could explain what ^ had found out. The unit linked #'s everyday experiences of electricity to scientific ideas and the importance of following instructions to control the risks to *self.
"
Appliances
Section 1: Finding electrical appliances

^ was able to identify appliances which used electricity e.g. lamps, tape recorders, televisions and those which do not e.g. a pencil-sharpener, a stapler.
^ was able to record the appliances into categories and justify ~ groupings e.g. ^ said that the tape recorder and the radio both made sounds. 


"
Safety
Section 2: Electrical safety

^ is able to tell someone e.g. a visitor, parent, other child that mains sockets are dangerous e.g. the electricity is so powerful it could kill *. ^ knows that plugs should not be touched with wet hands.
"
Batteries
Section 3: Using batteries and making connections

^ has used devices with batteries, drawn and labelled some of these e.g. bicycle lamps, hearing aids.
^ was able to explain why a particular device required a particular battery eg a watch is very small so it needs a small battery.
^ has identified some of the ways in which batteries might be dangerous e.g. a small child might swallow one, if the battery were cut open the chemicals could escape and cause harm.
"
Circuits
Section 4-6: Making a circuit

 # has made ~ own working circuits. ^ has used bulbs and buzzers in ~ work and successfully made ~ own drawings of these and ~ circuits.
^ can recognise simple drawings of circuits which will not work e.g. with connections to only one terminal of battery or a circuit with a break and ^ is able to to explain why the bulb will not light.
^ interprets drawings of circuits and makes the correct prediction about which circuits will work. ^ can explain ~ predictions e.g. saying this won't work because both wires are attached to the same end of the battery. 
# has designed, made, tested and demonstrated ~ device and explained the importance of a complete circuit in it.
