Science – It’s Electric!

Our Science topic is Electricity. We are investigating circuits – complete circuits and incomplete circuits. We have enjoyed ‘tinkering’ with batteries, bulbs, crocodile clips, motors and wires.

A was eager to show us how he had used a paper clip to complete his circuit!

We are learning to create electrical circuit diagrams. We love drawing in our class. At first, we wanted to display our circuits like this –

A drawing of a simple circuit

Compare this with Lilly’s diagram of the same electrical circuit –

Lilly 13.2.20 – A diagram of a simple circuit

We are now going to use the scientific skill of making a prediction. We will predict whether a circuit is complete – the bulb will light. We will predict whether the circuit is incomplete – the bulb will not light.
