This afternoon we were lucky enough to be visited by Generation Science who are part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. The children took part in an interactive workshop called Power from the People. They explored electricity; what it is and how it is produced. The class were taken on a journey as Electric Scientists to discover how they could produce electricity from the movements of their bodies.
The class were able to explore the principles of electricity through use of circuits, flowing electrons, magnets and capacitors. As a final challenge the class worked in small groups to build their own generator to produce electricity from their own movement.
