Electricity and Circuits

Charlotte checking the plans and examples. 
Along with the two other classes in our syndicate, we spent Monday afternoon checking out Brain Box circuitry kits. Our focus this term continues to be Electricity with Integrity as the over arching theme. We will look into circuits and what the necessary components to make a circuit work are. Our target is to design and create a toy or gadget that has a circuit in it in some way!

We had an excellent time collaborating with two other students from different classes. We also used our ipads to photograph each circuit we did so we can create thinglinks that discuss the relevance of each part in the circuit. The questioning, thinking, and conversations were awesome and no one really wanted to stop when the cars started rolling into the play ground, indicating 3 o'clock was close.

  1. Hi Room 9. My name is Mitchell I am a Room 7 student at Paihia School. I really like how you talked about circuits and electricity. Collaborating with another class is a great way to learn you can teach them what you know about electricity and they can teach you what they know but be careful electricity is a very dangerous thing don’t get too close. But over all I think your blog is full of fantastic work. Kind Regards Mitchell. If you want to see our blog click this link here http://paihiaschoolroom7.blogspot.co.nz.

    You have some nice pictures of the circuits and the text underneath the pictures helps to understand what you are doing. Next time you could add a quick clip of the car working that would be good.
