For home learning we were asked to make a mind map about electricity I chose windmills they are very interesting and I have some nearby. Did you no that a wind turbine turns wind energy using the force from the rotor blade. that’s my learning so far.
here’s my mind map and I hope that you like it
Here are all the things that I know about Electricity
1. electricity is very dangerous in the wrong hands
2. Electricity can be fun in phone’s and all electronics
3. Here is all the words I know about electricity watts vaults power voltage static Ions gas battery national electrical
Today we were making circuits and it was fun!
What did we use?
We used copper tape, LED lights, sellotape, a switch and a motor.
How to make it
So first we got the copper tape and stuck it down and then we got an LED and split the legs of it and stuck it down on top of the copper tape with tape and then we put the red wire and the black wire and touched the copper wire and the light lit up.
What is happening?
So what is happening is that the battery is outputting power and the copper tape is conducting electricity and the electricity is passing through the LED and is going down the other bit of copper tape and the excess electricity is going back into the battery.
Our investigations
So we tried to find out how many lights the battery could power. We also figured out how to power the fan!
Today we learned how to make simple circuits. We all decided to make it harder by adding more LED lights and a fan. We used copper tape as the conductor. Also we taped down the lights, keeping in mind the negative and positive electrons.
The materials that we used
The materials we used for our circuit are LED light, copper tape, negative and positive electrons, a fan and four batteries.
How we created our circuit.
We started by laying down our copper tape then we put the batteries in the battery box. Then we preceded to stick our LED light on to the top of our circuit. We connected the positive and negative to the copper tape. Then the LED light lit up. After that we added more items.
The investigations
Some of the investigations that we tried included, adding the fan, adding the light switch and adding more LED lights. These investigations went very well. 
These are the experiments that we performed. 1. Is with the fan and extra LED lights. 2. The second one is the one with just the LED lights.
WHAT WE DID
Today we were making simple circuits and we have listed our materials and outcome above. Our last picture shows us changing a fan for a pencil to make it spin! We used copper tape as our conductor and added the wires on to power a motor, 4 lights and we even added a switch. The battery sends power(electricity) through the wires into the copper tape, the tape connected the lights, motor and switch to the battery allowing it all to work
Pink group’s first circuit
For our first circuit, we used copper tape, a small light bulb, sellotape and a battery pack to make a simple circuit! When you connect everything like the picture shown below, it makes the light bulb light up! The only thing is that there’s both a long and short leg on the light, and the long leg is called the positive side and this goes with the red wire, and the short leg goes with the black wire and is called the negative side. If you get these mixed up, the light won’t work! Here is the process of our circuit in pictures-
After we did our circuit, we messed around with some other parts including a fan and a switch for the light!
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
