Year 4 Exploring Electrical Circuits

Year 4 have had great fun exploring electrical circuits this week.  They have worked collaboratively and had to problem solve to try and figure out how to make a lamp light up!  After much trial and error, the children realised that there was a clue within the title and that ‘circuit’ was the crucial word that helped them.

 

After making the lamp light up, they then explored what happened if they added more cells and lamps into their circuits.  Did you know that the more cells you add, the brighter the light?
