  2. Outcomes • All students should be able to recall how a fuse works and that there are different types of fuse and state that circuit breakers are safer than fuses. • Most students should be able to describe how a fuse works and they are different to circuit breakers. • Some students should be able to explain how circuit breakers work and why they are safer than fuses.

  3. Fuses and Circuit Breakers

  4. Fuses Investigation • Results • Analysis • Plot a graph of each Current (in Amps) on the y-axis and Diameter on the x-axis (in mm). You will have two lines on one graph – label them.

  5. Conclusion and Evaluation • Conclusion: • Which would be the best piece of wire to be a 3A fuse? Explain your answer. • Write an evaluation explaining (a) if this was the best way to carry out the experiment. (b) Were there any things you would change if you were to do this again? (c) Explain any further tests you would carry out to back up your conclusion.

  6. Tell me two things...(for each) • that you have done well this session • that you know now that you didn’t know at the start • that you could do better next time • that you would like to know more about 2
