Building a complete circuit

Today we had a go at building a circuit that had a buzzer, motor, switch and bulb in. We drew our circuits using the correct symbols. Can you think of any real life examples of electrical circuits that have some of these components in?

Funny Electricity!

Our last science lesson was spent exploring the different parts that make up an electric circuit. In the lesson today we used what we had learnt to make the clowns eyes light up. Can you find out the symbol for a switch and draw another circuit? Bring it in and show.


Algebra with Mr Nickerson

In maths today we learnt what inverse meant and used it to do some algebra. Look at Ellie's example on the board, can you do some of your own in the comment box? Remember the success criteria for how to solve an empty box problem.
