Super Science Practicals!

This half term, Year 4 have taken part in lots of science practicals this term in our topic, Electricity. Have a look:

In this practical lesson, we were given wires, a battery and a bulb. We were told we had to turn on the bulb. It took us a few minutes to complete a full circuit and switch on the bulb.

In this practical starter, we were shown objects such as toys, pencils, a lamp, a remote and lots more, also 2 hoops which were going to be 2 groups. First, we discussed what groups they could possibly be: conducts heat, conducts electricity, made of plastic were some of the ideas we came up with. We finally decided that the groups were objects that conduct electricity and those that don't. Then we worked as a class to organise the objects into the 2 groups. Did we group correctly?
