Y4: Conductors and insulators!

We had lots of fun today investigating which materials make either conductors or insulators. We learnt that metal objects such as scissors, paperclips and tin foil make excellent conductors within our electrical circuits. Unfortunately, wood and plastic not so much! They were insulators and stopped the electricity flowing through the circuit and the bulb didn’t light up.

Active Reading! 📖

Class 11 have also completed some active reading learning today, whereby we learnt all about conductors and insulators! This was a great way to build background knowledge for our next learning of CS1, but also improve on our learning skills!

Switching it up! 🔋💡

Today, Class 11 have been creating more circuits in preparation for their results section of their scientific report. They have included a switch this time to see how it would affect the flow of electricity in a simple series circuit. See below images of how Class 11 managed to get the circuits working!

Class 7 Kixx

Another great session with Coach Kyle today. We learned more about teamwork, dribbling and controlling the ball. Please remember to send OUTDOOR PE kit for our next session in 2 weeks time.
