Circuits

We added key developments from the history of electricity to our time line. We enjoyed working out which objects use electricity, whether they use batteries or mains power and explored how to make circuits. We learned how electricity travels round the circuit and how switches work.

This week we have been taking more tests and rehearsing for our show so we are ready for a good rest this weekend!

We have learned that there are many different sources of sound, why we need sound and that sounds get quieter the further away they go. For extra learning we found out how the ear works and how ears can get damaged.

Check out this video for a great explanation- you will need a VPN.
