New resource - STEM electricity circuits
Did you know we're constantly checking and updating the Topmarks' database of learning resources? Fully searchable, you can find a wealth of material across every curriculum area. Like this new STEM idea...
One of the latest additions we're loving is this Circuit Construction Kit. It's part of the PhET Interactive Simulations project by the University of Colorado, Boulder. It is tablet friendly, but we think it's easier to use with a mouse.
PhET simulations are designed to engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where they learn through exploration and discovery. This circuit builder is aimed for experimentation by KS2 and KS3, though teachers of younger KS2 ages may prefer to make the most of it as a reinforcement tool, like a plenary activity after practical work.
