Creating a circuit with variables!!!!

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.

Finding out what conducts and what doesn’t !!!!!!!

Today the orange group have been finding out what conducts and what doesn’t.

(We only had to follow a diagram)

  1. First we cut the copper tape and stuck it down in a circuit formation.

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

Blogging Buddies in P3/2

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!

 

 

Copper tape circuit experiment!

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.
