Class 4's Topic Page

Autumn Term- Topic 4

Our current topic is...

Power it up!

As scientists we will focus on:

• identifying common appliances that run on electricity
• constructing a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers
• identifying whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery
• recognising that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit
• recognising some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors
