Learning Objectives
Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches. Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram.
Learning Outcomes
I can record results of an investigation by drawing circuit diagrams. I can say how to alter and change components in an electrical circuit by using voltage or switches.
