Year 4 Science – Following in the Footsteps of Edison

Year 4O learned all about electrical circuits in their Science lesson this week. In pairs, we looked at the drawings of circuits and decided and explained which will work and which will not. In groups, we made a circuit which worked successfully: we recorded it by drawing and indicated the purpose of each part; for example, we saw that the battery provided the power. We ended our lesson by looking at a short video clip on the dangers of mains electricity and we discussed the differences between the devices which can be run on batteries and those which require mains electricity.
