Electrical Circuits

The students in 6L have been working on understanding electricity better this term.

You can read about the way we have been learning by visiting this earlier post.

Today the students had to get 3 light globes to light up by completing a circuit using a power supply, wires and globes.

They then used the lights to light up their name which they had made using paper and cellophane. That task proved to be tricky for some! They all thought it was going to be easy but soon learned that A3 paper doesn’t stand up easily without some clever folding. They also discovered that cutting their name out created some challenges as they had to think carefully about how to construct their letters.

In the end the kids did a great job and were all able to show me that they could create an open and closed circuit with full-functioning light globes.

What was the hardest part of this project?

Explain what you needed to do to get the light globes to light up.
