Over the past half-term, Year 6 have been learning about circuits and conductors and insulators.
Firstly, the children learnt how to draw the circuit symbols and then used these to draw circuits. They considered circuit faults and how to fix them. Following this, the children learnt about insulators and conductors and how to stay safe around electricity. This week, the children carried out their own investigation into how bulbs can be made brighter or dimmer by changing the amount of wires; adding components to the circuit; and using more cells. The children worked hard to collect their own results and to follow an investigation write-up procedure including a conclusion.
