About this resource
Ready to print, adapt and use.
This one-page worksheet shows a clear, realistic illustration of a simple circuit – a battery, a light bulb in its holder, an open switch and connecting wire – with four blank labels. Students write the name of each component in the correct box, securing the vocabulary they need before building and drawing circuits of their own.
Teaching notes
Pair the worksheet with a hands-on circuit so students can match each drawn component to a real one.
Ask what would happen to the bulb with the switch shown open, and what would need to change for it to light.
The sheet also works as a quick pre-assessment or exit ticket.
