Circuits

A couple of weeks ago we got to make simple circuits that involved one battery, a lightbulb, and two wires. We learned that for a circuit to work you must have a complete loop. It was very fun to learn about circuits and how they work. Some people struggled at first but eventually everybody knew how to complete a simple circuit.

It helped us learn about and how to make circuits when we actually got to make them ourselves. It's a lot more fun to learn science when we get to do a lot of hands on stuff like making circuits. We also learned about complex circuits and how they work. I think making the circuits helped people learn.

Once we completed the simple circuits we were given a couple different items and we learned about insulators and conductors. We got to see which items conducted and which items insulated. Most wood and rubber stuff insulated and most metal stuff conducted. It was a lot of fun.
