In science this term, Primary 3 are learning about electricity and electrical circuits.
We’ve learnt that electricity passes along conductive materials like metal and we’ve learnt how to construct a simple circuit using a battery, wires and a bulb.
This week we’ve learnt how to make a simple switch for our circuit out of some card, a paper clip and some brass pins.
The wires connect to the bottom of the pins and when the paper clip is moved to touch both pins, the circuit is complete. Electricity can now flow through the circuit and the bulb will light up!
