Key Stage 1

Meaning

A switch is something you can use to turn things off and on.

A light switch.

Key Stage 2

Meaning

A switch is a component in a circuit that can connect or break the circuit to control whether electricity flows.

Singular Noun: Switch
Plural Noun: Switches
Verb: To switch

About Switches

A switch is anything that breaks a circuit.
A switch turns things off by breaking a circuit.
A switch turns things on by connecting the wires to complete the circuit.
A circuit should always have a switch in it so it can be turned off if anything goes wrong.

A switch. The symbol for an open switch. The symbol for a closed switch.

Key Stage 3

Meaning

A switch is a component in a circuit that can connect or break the circuit to control whether electricity flows.

About Switches

A switch is anything that breaks a circuit.
An 'open' switch prevents electricity from moving around the circuit.
A 'closed' switch allows electricity around the circuit.
A switch is a useful safety device in a circuit so that the current can easily be stopped. This prevents components from getting too hot and prevent electrocution from a damaged wire.
