Material Detail

Learning Circuits is a free web resource to learn about the basics of electricity and circuits. Designed for children ages 8-10 it can be used for homework, to support a lesson or a tutorial. Based on the UK National Curriculum it is structured in eight sections: 

• Electricity basics
• Simple circuits
• Symbols and components
• Switches
• Changing circuits
• Insulators and conductors

Each section breaks down the topic into simple screens of content and plenty of interactive exercises. There is a quiz to test your knowledge and a menu to navigate to any part of the material, as needed. 

It has been (experimentally) translated to French and Spanish.
