Today Upper School explored and recapped their learning from Middle School about how to make a simple circuit. They chose equipment by themselves and investigated how to make a bulb and a motor work. There was lots of discussion and diagnostics when some of the circuits didn’t appear to work. Some of the children went even further and added in switches.
This was the basis for the next part of their new learning which was drawing scientific circuit diagrams. The class learnt how to draw components as scientific diagrams and how to put them into a correctly drawn full circuit diagram. Well done, Year 5/6, for a fantastic lesson!
