Lesson 4.4 on Circuits is an educational journey where students will delve into the world of electricity by constructing a simple series electrical circuit. They will identify and label the fundamental parts of a circuit, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers. Through hands-on experience, they will learn to recognise the essential components and understand the conditions necessary for a lamp to illuminate within the circuit. The lesson emphasizes the practical understanding of how a complete loop with a battery is crucial for the functioning of a lamp in a series circuit.

Moreover, students will explore the function of a switch and how it can control the flow of electricity, making the connection between the operation of a switch and the lighting of a lamp. To assess their comprehension and retention of the lesson, students will be prompted to answer key questions. These questions will test their ability to name the different components of a circuit, construct a functioning circuit, explain the reasons behind the malfunctioning of circuit components, and describe the operational mechanics of a switch. The lesson aims to provide students with a clear understanding of basic electrical circuits and the role each component plays in the system.
