Light Bulb Moments in Year 4 Science

Mrs P-S and Mr B challenged to children to build simple working circuits this week in their Global Science lessons.  Each child was given a cell, two wires and either a bulb, motor or buzzer that they had to make work and there was a real buzz in the air as the children saw science in action each time they completed a circuit.

Some circuits did not initially work so pairs combined to try and find out why and solve the problem.  The children were also encouraged to predict what would happen if additional cells were added to a circuit and this was then tested with results that surprised some.
