Powering Solutions: Circuits, Coding and Sustainable Design has been created for the NSW Science and Technology K–6 syllabus. It contains over 200 carefully designed PowerPoint slides and a corresponding student worksheet for every included lesson.
This resource currently includes
- Lessons 1–8 only
- Over 200 ready-to-teach PowerPoint slides
- PowerPoint and PDF presentation formats
- One student worksheet for every lesson
- Worksheet answer sheets
- Downloadable font used throughout the presentations
- Learning intentions and success criteria
- Key vocabulary and scientific explanations
- Practical investigations and collaborative activities
- Assessment and reflection opportunities
- Links to suggested videos, simulations and digital resources
- Clear instructions for teachers and students
Lessons currently included
- Electrical Energy
- Explore how electrical energy is transferred and transformed and construct simple circuits.
- Explaining Electrical Circuits
- Use physical and digital models to explain how complete and incomplete circuits work.
- Circuit Components and Switches
- Identify circuit components and investigate how switches control electrical circuits.
- Planning a Conductivity Investigation
- Pose a testable question and identify the variables required for a fair test.
- Conductivity Testing
- Conduct a fair test and classify different materials as electrical conductors or insulators.
- Electrical Insulators for Safety
- Explore how insulating materials are used in everyday electrical appliances to keep people safe.
- Digital Conductivity Testing
- Investigate how a micro:bit can use inputs and outputs to test and communicate conductivity.
- Modifying a Digital System
- Modify an algorithm to change how a digital conductivity tester communicates its results.
Important release information
This is an early-release version containing Lessons 1–8 only.
Please note: This is a standalone resource containing Lessons 1–8 only. Lessons 9–16 are not included in this download and will be released separately in an additional resource. A complete Lessons 1–16 bundle will also be available once both packs have been published.
Purchasing this resource now allows teachers to begin teaching the unit immediately while the remaining lessons are finalised.
Designed for busy teachers
Each lesson is presented in a clear sequence, with balanced slide content, visual examples, discussion prompts, student activities and opportunities to check understanding. The included worksheets allow students to record predictions, observations, explanations, investigation results and scientific thinking.
This resource is ideal for:
- Stage 3 and Years 5–6 classrooms
- NSW public and independent schools
- Classroom teachers
- Science and Technology RFF teachers
- Home learning and relief teaching
- Teachers seeking a ready-to-teach Unit 3 resource
Current download: Lessons 1–8 only
