We love all things bright and electric! This term, year 6 classes have been learning about Electricity. So far, they have worked as mini scientists and conducted a fair test on the brightness of bulbs and the amount of voltages used to power them. Pupils made electrical circuits which varied in voltage (power). When they increased the voltage, they noticed that the brightness of the bulb increased too. They were able to make circuits with 1.5v, 3v, 4.5v. Some pupils even managed to make a circuit with 6v. The bulb was so bright but the pupil’s faces were even brighter with joy! They loved this learning. Keep asking them questions about their Science learning so they can consolidate their knowledge and also tell you how much fun they had!
The top circuit used 1.5 voltage while the bottom circuit used 6 voltage.
