Group pink
We created a circuit with some copper paper,a battery and a variable.This is how.
1.We got the copper paper and made a little square.
2.We got the battery and put it on the top of the paper.
3.We made a little gap on the right side of the paper.
4.We hade a buzzer,a siren, a fan and a light.
5.We chose the siren and it was VERY loud!
6.We found out that the wooden spoon, the spatula and the tin lid did not work as a variable.
Today the orange group have been finding out what conducts and what doesn’t.
(We only had to follow a diagram)
2. Then we stuck down the wires and the battery.
3. We stuck down the light next to the copper tape.
4. We left a gap in the circuit.
5. Then we turned on the battery.
6. Then we found things to put on the gap to make the light glow up. The wooden spoon, the Duplo and the ruler didn’t conduct electricity but the potato masher, the tin and the metal spoon did conduct electricity.
7. We tried the buzzer, the fan and the beeper. They all worked. 63784056523__903B98E4-C5CB-471C-92B1-33952D1088C7
Great excitement today as the children began to learn to write a blog post in Glow.
Qwerty keyboard skills were in use and the children were trying to use both hands to type to get logged on to the Chromebooks.
It was brilliant to see children buddy up with others to teach them how to blog, fantastic learning together! I am very proud!
The class created a spelling list this afternoon to help them edit the posts they are writing about adding conductors to circuits.
Such a lot of effort, everyone deserved a brain break!
Green group have been doing copper tape experiments. This time we used the same items, a battery pack with batteries, some copper tape and a light. Last time our light didn’t work but this time it did .We turned it on and it lit up.
Blue group have been learning all about circuits. Here is how we made a copper tape circuit!
1. First we had to open the batterie box, and put the batteries inside.
2. Next we put copper tape on the paper to act as the conductors.
3.Then we attached the wires to the copper tape.
4.Next we attached the light and stuck it down with tape .
5.Lastly we drew our copper tape circuit.
Group pink in p5/4 had a red light that they made light up.This is how we did it.
1.We stuck the batteries into the battery case. 2.Then we got copper tape and a light .3.We stuck the copper tape on the paper.
4. We stuck the wires onto the copper tape 5.We flicked the switch and the red light lit up. 6.At the end we drew a circuit picture
Green group have been making a copper tape circuit. We had fun. First we had to put the batteries in the battery pack, then we stuck down the copper tape and switched it on though the light did not light up. We think it’s because the copper tape was crooked.
P5/4 have been learning and writing about the knowledge of circuits conductors and insulators. We watched a video on BBC about circuits and conducts and insulators we found it quite interesting. We also learnt that pickled gherkin have a source of electricity
P5/4 have been asked to write down what they know about circuits, conductors and insulators.
