  1. Modelling electricity - Starter By David Bailey Based on an idea by Bob Kibble - Moray House School of Education, Edinburgh 1. Preparation 2. Starter activity

  2. 1. Preparation You will need… A working series circuit containing a cell, bulb, switch and connecting wires. The power point slide to match this starter (but don’t show this yet!) Make sure that all students have a something to draw on and something to draw with.

  3. 2. Starter activity Instructions Ask students to look at a circuit. Ask them to imagine that they are so small that they can see what is happening in the wires. Ask them to draw what they see. Give them a few minutes to do this. Discuss the four common models as shown on the PowerPoint slide. Explain that scientists use models to explain what they see and that this involves telling a story. During the main activity that matches this starter they are going to learn the story that scientists tell to explain electricity.
