About this worksheet
Sixteen everyday items for Year 4 to sort by how they are powered, on one page with a three-column table. The word bank runs from a kettle and a washing machine to a torch, a digital watch, a bicycle and a book. Page 2 asks which items were hardest to place, with a hint about recharging, and has pupils add a new item of their own to each column. The answer page accepts a mobile phone and a laptop as mains or battery, and notes that some smoke alarms are wired to the mains. It covers the first Year 4 electricity statement in the England National Curriculum.
