Autumn 1 - Electricity

Electricity

This term we will be finding out about electricity. We will learn different ways to investigate and make an electrical circuit.

Today in our last lesson on electricity we have had fun experimenting with how to make bulbs brighter and dimmer and spotting any patterns in circuits. We also learnt all about the scientist Samuel Morse and enjoyed making our own secret sentences using morse code. Please look out for our light up balloons that we are bringing home and ask us how they link to our electricity topic!

Today we began our unit on Electricity. We talked about different appliances and then went on a hunt to find mains powered and battery powered appliances. We then created a Venn diagram
