This week in Year 4, we have been exploring simple circuits in Science. We have learnt that a simple circuit requires a bulb, cell (or battery) and wires to be complete. We also know what switches, buzzers and motors can also be adding into circuits. Here are some photographs of what a simple circuit might look like:

We set to work to investigate why some of the circuits on our worksheet were incomplete and would not work. The children had to built the circuits and record whether the circuit was complete or incomplete and why. We worked with our partner and experimented with bulbs, batteries, buzzers, switches and wires safely and scientifically. Here are some of our eager and very professional Scientists in action…
