This week in science we had two separate lessons. The first was about how the ideas on electricity had changed over time. First, we looked back at the scientists we had learnt about in a previous science lesson, talking about who they were, what they did and also when they made their discoveries/did their research. Afterwards, we created a human timeline and then added a few of the major discoveries in science to it. It was really interesting to see that most of the discoveries didn't happen until the 18th century! For our second lesson this week, we finished our unit on electricity by introducing the new history unit on WW1 and WW2. The children worked in groups to plan a message that they were going to send by Morse code, either using a buzzer (like a telegram) or a bulb (like trench to trench communications). There were some interesting messages sent but the children worked well in their groups to first work out what the Morse code would be for their message and then try it out on a circuit they had made - they even learnt how to make a simple switch to help them perform their Morse code more easily.
