The Grade 3 and 4s have been experimenting with insulation. They tested out how they slow down the movement of heat energy. Some students used insulators to keep hot water hot, others used them keep cold water cold. They tried out bubble wrap, a tea towel, a thermos and a drink cooler/stubby holder.

This week, Grade 5 and 6 experimented with making an electrical circuit. Their task was simply to get a globe to light up. They were provided with wires, globes and batteries but no further guidance was given. It was up to them to show perseverance and problem solving to work out how the pieces needed to be arranged. Eventually, all students worked out what the ‘circuit’ part referred too and managed to light up their globes by arranging them in a closed loop. |
