Unit 4 (Electricity): Class Activities

Hi everyone! We are starting Unit 4 (Electricity) this week. So we will be working on class activities (first session) in the workshop and ICT activities in the Computer Room.
For the first session you need two balloons, 1 m of string, 12 paper clips and a piece of cardboard. For the second session (next week) you have to bring the material the picture below shows (electrical kit): a 4,5 volt battery, a bulb (and a bulb holder) and connecting wires. You will use these materials in the second class activity as well as the final project at the end of the unit. Good luck.

Hi everybody! As you all know (previous post) you will be doing the exam for this unit after the coming bank holiday. Here you have some clues:
  • Identify the materials we used in this unit
  • Classify those materials into the correct type of materials (metals, plastic, wood...)
  • Identify different properties of materials
  • Link those properties with the purpose of the object
  • Differentiate the different parts of an object and their purpose
To prepare this exam go back to the activities we have completed and work on your workbook. The solutions are already published in our general website. And do not forget to do the extra activities: Virtual classroom and Quizizz. Good luck.
