Energy
5th Class (Beech) investigated electricity. They
Investigated how electricity works- circuits, current etc
Built a simple circuit using wires, light bubs, buzzers and switches
Discussed the dangers of electricity and how to stay safe when working with it
Researched how some household appliances work- kettle, toaster, thermostats etc
Forces
5th Class (Willow) investigated
how objects and materials may be moved. They explored
The effect of friction on movement and how it may be used to slow or stop moving objects.
How friction can generate heat
Gravity as a force
Became aware that objects have weight because of the pull of gravity
