Class 9 have been learning about electricity and have been very interested to find out about this invisible but very useful thing in our lives. They learned that electricity is all around in nature but also very useful to us in powering our lights, TVs, phones, computer games and a thousand other devices we use in modern life.
We did some experiments to show how an electrical flow can travel along a wire and activate a device. Aman and Shah made a light work.
Working together led to good discussion, experiments and trial and error until success was achieved.
James and Liam were a good team and worked well together.
Jamie and James were challenged to build a Duplo house and fit a light in it!
Aman and Shah made a car with a light.
They got it to work!
The house was soon all lit up too!
Getting the wiring inside was tricky though.
We all learned about how much we rely on electricity and how to be safe around it. We also learned about the need to produce electricity in a way which doesn't pollute the world. Scotland leads the world in green power production with wind farms, wave machines and other sources of 'clean' energy production. That should be built on and expanded in the future.
