Science: Electricity

P6M were very busy in Science during Term 1 working on electrical circuit activities.

The pupils drew simple series circuits using the standard symbols to represent their knowledge of the components.  They were drawing upon on their resilience and problem solving skills to make changes to the circuits when the components did not work.

They made buzzers beep, lights glow, motors spin and created circuits with multiple components.  They included switches to allow them to control the components.

Lots of smiles and thumbs up to show successful circuits, super effort p6M!

 

Primary 6 Descriptive Writing
