Today Generation Science visited Whiteness Primary 6 and 7 with a workshop called Power From the People which was about electricity.<\/p>\n

They explained how electrons around a circuit which is controlled by a battery or magnet which makes electricity. We had a generator which we had to clip the crocodile clips on to to charge hex bugs before we raced them. The same bug came first and second each time. To generate the electricity we had to spin around the handle. We discovered that thin wire and more magnets creates more electricity when you spin it faster. Total paid for our visit.<\/p>\n
