Today the orange group have been finding out what conducts and what doesn’t.
(We only had to follow a diagram)
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.
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.
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.
