20th April 2015 - First day of Term 2

First period of the first day of term 2 and we were into it.
This is the start of the four 2 week modules where we look at different aspects of circuits.

Our topic is Circuits and the first 2 weeks will be doing just that. We have got the "Brainboxes" and we are just going over the basics first so the children understand what makes a circuit and how to construct them using motors lights and switches.
As they progress past these they can follow the experiments in the books - there are 188 of them so plenty of room for extension and consolidation of knowledge.
We finished off by designing our own using all the right symbols and then trying to make them with the Brainboxes.
The programme on the server called Crocodile Clips was a great way to test the circuits out on the computer before making them with the Brainboxes
