Making connections!

This half term our topic is 'Making Connections'.
In our science we are looking at electricity. We have planned lots of questions we want to find the answers to.
We have already found out how electricity is made and how it gets to our houses.
Here we are finding out for ourselves how to get a bulb to light up. It's all about making connections!


We found we had to join the components into a circuit so the electricity from the battery could flow around and light the bulb. If the circuit was not complete the bulb would not light.


Some of us tried adding extra components. We found that if you added two bulbs to the circuit the bulbs shone less brightly. We decided that this was because they had to share the electricity from the battery
