CIRCUITMANIA!

To kick off our first Science topic of the Spring term- Electricity, we have had a fantastic time investigating how to make a bulb light up! 💡








We independently experimented with electrical equipment including: bulbs, wires, batteries and magnetic battery holders.






Through trial and error we were able to recognise why the circuit was complete when we touched metal clips with metal screws! We had a very interesting discussion about conductors and insulators of electricity.



To extend our learning, we tried making buzzers and fans work with our circuits. 





We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and also learnt about electrical safety and whether humans and water are conductors or insulators too!
