TRIMLEY ST MARTIN PRIMARY SCHOOL |
We started our first science topic in Year 6 this week called Electrifying. The first thing we did was reminded ourselves of some of the things we learnt in Year 4, including what an insulator and a conductor was. After that, we looked at some of the vocabulary we were going to be using in this topic. We sorted them in any way we wanted, most pairs sorted them by words they knew and didn't know. Luckily, most pairs knew what lots of the words meant already! We were then set a challenge of making a complete circuit using 2 wires, a bulb and a battery, which we all did very quickly! Next, we learnt about how to draw a circuit scientifically, using the correct symbols to show the different components of the circuit we had made. We were then able to make any circuits we liked as long as we drew the circuit diagram of them in our books.
Following this, we played an electrical component game to practice recognising the symbols we had been using. Before playing Pictionary Vocabulary, where we need to draw one of the electrical vocabulary for our partner to guess. Good use of these Learning Gems:
