 Electricity

We have been learning all about Electricity.  Here are some of the things we have been getting up to.

Motors

Interactive Winter Scene

Steady Hands

Morse Code Messaging

Learning about Circuits

Intruder Trap

P4 Science Log

Here are the results of our Electricity Challenge

Motors

We set up a circuit with a motor and investigated what happens when we added some colour.

Look what we found when the motor was on.

We used our circuits  to design and build an interactive winter scene.

We used our circuit kits to investigate who had the steadiest hand in P4

are trying hard  to keep the loop from buzzing.

We also used our kits to send secret Morse Code messages across our classroom.

At the beginning of our topic we learnt about making a circuit.

We drew circuits we made.

Finally we learnt to draw circuit diagrams.

Our final Electricity Challenge was to design and build an Intruder Trap

Stage 1 - Design Intruder Trap

   Stage 2  - Build Intruder Trap

P4 Science Log

“ I have enjoyed the topic Electricity because we made patterns spin using a motor.  I am so sad to stop doing Electricity.”  Fraser

 “I have enjoyed learning about another way of drawing components it was fun” Bethany

 I have really enjoyed the topic electricity.  I loved fiddling about with appliances”  Devin

 “ I liked the best was when we all made the intruder alarm do you know why because it was fun”  Niketa

  “I liked doing the steady hand and the light bulb through the drawing”  Judith

 “The thing I liked best was when we made burglar traps.”  Bronagh

 “ I liked the day when we done stuff with the motor like making patterns”  Mark

 “I loved everything in the topic”  Charley
