We were learning about how scientists read circuit diagrams using symbols for different things like cells and wires. We learned that when there are 2 cells together it is called a battery. We learned the symbols for different components that we can put in a simple circuit.
When we turn a switch on it connects the metal so the electricty can flow around the circuit. When the switch is off, the circuit is broken so there is nowhere for the electricty to flow.
We also learned about conductors and that metal conducts electricity. Things like wood are insulators and electricity can’t flow through them.
We are going to design games using electric circuits!
