In Year 3 and 4 our children are learning
about electricity. These children are performing some experiments – testing a
variety of materials to see if they conduct electricity and will so complete
the circuit and light the bulb.
These children
are testing objects to see if it will complete the circuit. They used 3
wires, a battery and a bulb in a holder. They left a space in the circuit
for an object.
First they
tested a plastic ruler.
Do you think
it completed the circuit?
These children
tried completing their circuit with a piece of kitchen foil.
They
successfully light the light bulb.
The children worked in groups to
complete their experiments and recorded their findings in a table
The children even
tested the pencils they were writing with.
