Electricity

In Science, we have been learning about electricity. We made a simple circuit, altered the power, and added a switch. We also tested different materials to determine if they were conductors or insulators of electricity.

A Simple Circuit

The power from the battery lit the bulb.

Doubling the Bulbs

One battery powered two bulbs-dimmer

Double the Power

The bulb powered by two batteries shone brighter.

Adding a Switch

When the switch was closed, the circuit was complete and the bulb lit.

When the switch was open, the circuit was broken and the bulb did not light.

Conductors of Electricity

Electricity flowed through the following items:

Coin

Key

Metal Paper Clip

Drink Can

Insulators of Electricity

Electricity did not flow through the following items:

Wooden Fork

Glass Jar

Plastic Lid

Paper

Rubber Band

Silk

Banana

We used a battery to power a motor which made the rainbow spinner work. The rainbow colours were merged bringing them back to white.

Skeltons

 Funny Bones

We have been learning about the human skeleton. Here we are with the skeletons we created using cotton buds.

Happy Valentine's Day

We took part in an afterschool Clayotic workshop with Louise. We created some beautiful Valentine's Day clay bears.

Ancient Egypt

We have been learning about Ancient Egypt. We coloured pictures of Egyptian nemes.
