Year 6: Science Circuits

May 28, 2021
As part of their ‘It’s Electrifying’ Science unit the Year 6 students have been looking at how to use a battery to light up a light bulb.  The students constructed, tested and represented a functioning circuit using wires, batteries, fairy lights and bulbs. The hands on investigation allowed students to explore why their circuit worked or did not work and to provide reasoning via diagrams and observations. Moving forward, students will be learning about conductors and insulators and will be testing a variety of materials to see which category they belong.
