Here are some handy links for teaching Primary Electricity on an IWB
This is something I haven’t seen before. Looks quite fun
I used to use a great piece of free software called Crocodile Elementary, from Crocodile Clips. It seemed to have gone but I think I’ve found it again. It’s been rebranded as Yenka Basic Circuits, and you can download it from the Yenka website here.

For a quick 10 minute preview, that explains some aspects of circuits. Go to Furry Elephant, and choose series or parallel circuits. It literally only allows you 10 minutes though.

But I didn’t know that until this morning. I’d just thought they’d deleted Croc Elementary without a replacement. I use croc elementary a lot, its very nice ideed.
Thanks anyway!
