Year 6 have loved learning all about electricity in science this half term!

We began the unit by looking at everyday life before electricity. The children had some quite interesting ideas as to what they thought items from the past were used for, before electrical items were even dreamed of.

Next, we learned about the discoveries of Michael Faraday, who invented the electric motor, and how his invention dramatically changed the world.

We looked at different electrical components and what their function is before looking at their corresponding symbols and using these to draw circuit diagrams.

We really enjoyed working scientifically to investigate circuits and predict what would happen if any of the components were changed.
