This term, our topic in science is electricity. We have identified different electrical applicances we have at home and whether they are mains powered or battery powered. 

We have now started to explore electrical circuits. Firstly, we made a circuit with a cell, wires and a bulb. We had to problem solve when our circuits didn't work! Then, we tested different items to see whether they were conductors. We couldn't belived adding a paper clip kept our circuit working! After that, we explored the use of switches and how they affected our circuits.

For Science week, we set up an experiment to investigate what damages our teeth the most and how we can look after our teeth. As scientist, we made our predictions and carried out observation over time to see the damage caused to the eggshell (teeth) overtime in different liquids and recorded our findings. After a week of careful observations, we used our results to write our conclusion.
