To inspire the start of our topic on electricity, Mrs Carroll from STEM 'Bright Sparks' visited our class with all her wonderful equipment for us to use. We made complete circuits and investigated what happens if a circuit is broken. We problem-solved using switches and progressed onto using circuits with buzzers and motors.

We understand that electricity flows in a circle- when the circle is broken then electricity will stop flowing and the bulb or buzzer won't work.

Our bodies can even be part of this circuit! We experimented safely with a light stick.

Electricity is the energy which makes things move, light up, make a sound or give heat.
