We started our new Science topic about electricity, 'Circuits & Conductors', last week in 4S.
Mr. Shadbolt and the children talked about the difference between appliances powered by batteries [things that we need to be portable or that do not require a lot of energy], and those appliances we have at home powered by mains electricity [things that stay in one place and that require a lot of energy!]. The children were able to identify whether certain appliances were powered by batteries or mains electricity, and suggested some rather unusual examples of each from their own homes!
We also talked a lot about how to use electricity safely, played a safety game on the EDF Energy website, and designed leaflets to help other people learn some very important electrical safety tips! If you'd like to see how many electrical hazards you can spot [we found all 22!], please click here to go and play EDF Energy's 'Spot The Hazard' game.
