Level 1

Share and clarify ideas about easily observable examples of forces and energy,
for example, by making a simple electrical circuit.
for example, by talking about the energy changes that occur when electrical energy is used to light a bulb.
for example, by discussing the changes that occur when more than one battery is used in a circuit.
Describe uses of items of everyday and, in simple terms, suggest how they work,
for example, describe how a torch works
Students can identify the main part of a torch circuit and draw what they see inside a torch.

Level 2

Investigate and describe ideas about everyday examples of forces and energy,
for example, by making a simple electrical circuit that includes a switch.
for example, by talking about the energy changes that occur when electrical energy is used to make light and heat.
Explore trends and relationships between easily observable forms of force and energy,
for example, by discussing the changes that occur when more than one bulb is used in a circuit.
Describe, in simple terms, how items of everyday technology work and affect our lives, for example, toasters.
Students can identify, draw, and label the main parts of a torch circuit.
Students can construct and draw a simple circuit and describe how series and parallel circuits affect the brightness of bulbs.
