Wednesday 19th November 2014: Electrical circuits

This afternoon we had a look at electricity and used batteries and cables to light a bulb.


We talked about conductivity. Metal conducts electricity but plastic doesn't. The metal clips have to be attached to the metal on the battery pack to allow the electricity to pass through. We also talked about the positive and negative points on the battery. 



Mrs Andrew added a switch to the circuit to show how the light will go off if the circuit is broken and everyone had a go at adding one.



We looked at the science assessment sheet and ticked off what we have achieved.
