Electricity 

In our science topic of electricity we learnt how to: 

Identify common appliances that run on electricity.
Construct a simple series electric circuit.
Identify and name the basic part in a series circuit, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
Identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery.
Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit.
Associate a switch opening with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit.
Recognise some common conductors and insulators.
Associate metals with being good conductors.
